Greetings again. Some meeting venues have had insufficient places where five 
or so people could comfortably gather for informal meetings, while other 
venues did this just fine. One proposal has been that the Secretariat reserve 
large rooms for this. Unfortunately, that adds significant cost to the 
meetings.

Instead, I propose that we simply designate the terminal room (which is 
already reserved for future meetings) be designated as meeting areas where 
talking is allowed / encouraged. Earplugs could be provided for people who 
really want a quiet Ethernet connection; the cost of those for the 
Secretariat will be about $25/meeting.

Sounds good.

I volunteer to collect free headsets from airplanes and put them out
for people to take.
