The narrowness of the corridoors, placement of food/drink and all that
was discussed in our wrap-up meeting this morning, and indeed the
issues you have raised were indentified as areas for improvement.
Since we are coming back to THIS hotel, there are certainly things
that can be done better, and will be done better, next time.

The issue that I experienced (and why I'm fussing)  is that if you were
attending many sessions in the Regency rooms (and moving rooms between
sessions), it was extremely difficult to weave your way through the
corridor as many people were having their discussion directly in the
middle
of the corridor.  There just was not room in that corridor for side
conversations.  The situation was made worse as that corridor was where
they served the refreshments.   And trying to ask people politely to move
generally had no impact in my experience as people were too engaged in
their conversations.

I agree with randy. I've never had an issue finding a place to
huddle/meet
when necessary at an ietf meeting venue. between the hallways, bar,
etc I'm
not sure what the fuss is all about.
