The IESG is seriously considering a WG and BOF scheduling experiment. The
goal of the experiment is to provide WG agenda sooner and also provide
more time to craft BOF proposals.
The proposed experiment includes three parts. First, schedule all BOFs
for Monday afternoon. Second, schedule WGs before we know which BOFs will
be held. Finally, provide an additional four weeks to deliver BOF
proposal to ADs.
I am in favor of the goals but concerned about conflicts between BOFs.
BOFs explore possible new work items for the IETF, and some decisions
made in BOFs can be significant for the direction of IETF work, and hard
to undo after the fact. I am more likely to be unhappy about a
scheduling conflict between BOFs than between a BOF and a WG that is
continuing in its ordinary work, so I like having BOFs spread out
through the week. Have you thought about sensitivity of conflicts, and
if so what were your thoughts?
