I greatly prefer the current meeting schedule to one that packs meetings in to
a shorter time period on Friday. As another poster mentioned, I too am tired by
Friday, and I'm unlikely to stay focused through 5 straight hours of meetings,
especially if I'm expected to keep going two hours past when I ate lunch on the
previous four days.
If we don't want to hold meetings on Friday afternoons due to conflicts, I'd
much rather see us eliminate one of the plenaries and hold meetings during that
time slot.

Howdy,
First I'd like to thank the organizers for IETF-81 for another well-run
meeting. The logistics and coordination for such an event must be daunting,
and I know we (the attendees) tend to focus on the negatives rather than the
positives... but we really are thankful for all the time and effort put into
it. Thank you!
I would also like to propose a small change for future meetings. On Friday,
instead of having a 2.5 hour WG meeting, followed by a 1.5 hour lunch break,
followed by 2 hours of WG meetings... perhaps we could just have 4.5 hours of
WG meetings straight and also start a bit earlier?
Something like this:
8:30-11:00 Session I
11:15-12:15 Session II
12:30-13:30 Session III
End
That way the people who need to get to an airport get more time, or fewer of
them have to miss WG meetings, etc. And it would help reduce costs for
attendees if they can avoid staying Friday night at the hotel. And lunch at
13:30 doesn't seem unreasonable (to me).
I apologize if this has been brought up before. I tried to find it from an
old email thread for the "Experiment" at IETF-73 which added the Friday
afternoon sessions, but did not see this proposal being suggested.
