I'm not sure I agree that Friday is a "problem"; the problem is that we have N working groups asking for M meetings and N*M needs to be <= that fixed number. Friday is a solution, one that has certain downsides. Stanislaus doesn't like the solution and IMHO has not proposed a solution that tells us how to better manage the demands on the resource.

The hotel has X meeting rooms, and X is known when the location is announced. If N*M/X<=4 and the increased density doesn't lead to more problems than Friday does, then Friday is unnecessary for that particular meeting.

Right now, the agenda is based on the chairs' perceptions of conflicts. It could be based on registrants' wishes, instead, which I think will permit a higher degree of parallelism without an increase in conflicts. That is, when you register, you click which WGs you really want to attend and which ones are also interesting, and the agenda is computed from that.
