On the Telechat today, the IESG made a decision to proceed with this
experiment. The IETF Secretariat has been directed to update the web
site to indicate that the IETF meeting will continue until 3:15 PM on Friday.
After each meeting the IAD conducts a survey. The IAD has been asked
to include questions on the survey to help determine whether the
success or failure of the experiment. In addition, the ADs for the
meetings held after lunch will be making an assessment regarding the
"burn out" of the participants.
Thanks for all of the feedback during this discussion.
Regards,
Russ

The IESG is considering an experiment for IETF 73 in Minneapolis, and
we would like community comments before we proceed. Face-to-face
meeting time is very precious, especially with about 120 IETF WGs
competing for meeting slots. Several WGs are not able to get as much
meeting time as they need to progress their work. As an experiment,
we are considering adding two Friday afternoon one-hour meeting slots.
The proposed Friday schedule would be:
0900-1130 Morning Session I
1130-1300 Break
1300-1400 Afternoon Session I
1415-1515 Afternoon Session II
Please share your thoughts about this proposed experiment. The
proposed experiment will be discussed on the IETF Didcussion mail
list (ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org).
