Sure, I agree with all that but I was wondering how people would view the SG vs BOF issues. I know anything will be a judgement call with tradeoffs - I'm sure we have had occasion where running the BOF was more important than some of the WGs but as for the most part WG get strong precedence over BOFs. I'm wondering if the SGs are going to make it even harder to schedule BOF of if the SGs should expect to get 100% bumped when we have a meeting that wants a few BOFs in one of the fuller areas. Clearly neither of these sounds much fun but given I sometimes have to help make theses scheduling tradeoffs, I would love to have any input from the community on what I should be doing.

The number of slots taken up by SGs is controlled by how many SGs are
chartered and how long the SGs take. Both factors are under the control of the IESG, which has already suggested a maximum of 3 GS to be chartered
under the experiment.

Assuming that the IESG charters SGs for the minimum period initially (6
months), is tough on extensions, and balances the value of SGs with
the available room slots and other factors, the problem seems
controllable, particularly since a fair number of WGs are on the verge of
concluding.
