Definitely against this - paying per presentation just fills me with
horror. Most people have to travel over a weekend anyway, so its
either the weekend before, with all the tutorials, or after, with
nothing.
I honestly think that "catch up" sessions could be quite valuable
in several ways. They could help newcomers to a particular WG get
up to speed, they could facilitate more cross-area review, they
could make the real discussions more effective by minimizing time
spent explaining things to those who weren't caught up.
Now this really makes me think - what if Monday was filled with
lightning talk style quick-fire presentations on various WGs and
documents? I suspect more or less one track per Area or perhaps AD
would work, with presentations limited to 5 or 10 minutes. There's no
need to limit this to just WGs, either - key WG docs could have their
own talk, as could individual documents.
The result would be that on Mondays, attendees could very easily do a
catch-up and cross-area run.
I think we would really benefit from this, as it'd provide an
excellent place to gain good cross-area awareness - and that ought to
breed better review and integration.
