RE: IPv4 Outage Planned for IETF 71 Plenary

Umm, maybe someone needs to explain to you the existence of the 
"bad-attitude" jabber room. Some of us are silently wondering if this 
may be the one plenary where "Bar BOF" takes on a new meaning. Perhaps 
we could have the proceedings projected on a giant sports-bar-like
screen and "jabber" away vocally instead?

During the IESG/IAOC Plenary at IETF 71, we are going to turn off IPv4
support on the IETF network 
for 30 to 60 minutes.  We will encourage the audience to use the
Internet and determine which services 
that they have come to take for granted remain available.

Is there an assumption here that no-one is listening to the plenary
presentations anyway?

I sure wouldn't want to be showing slides when everyone is trying
to get their connectivity up. In fact, the shouting back and forth
of solutions to various problems will probably drown out the mike.

Why don't we dedicate a separate 2 hour plenary just to this experiment 
with the moderator announcing workarounds and collected statistics ?
