There's over 100 working groups, and about 5 slots, because lunch is often

So where would you hold 25 parallel breakfast meetings? How would we ever
manage conflicts?
Where we always hold them: in the hotel restaurant. I'm not suggesting
anything more formal than that—I agree that this doesn't scale if you try to
have catered meeting rooms for each wg. The scaling problem for wg chairs is
different, because they don't have to go to any meeting but their own. The
question is whether this work is as important as the other business we do over
food. That's up to the various working group chairs to decide; I'm simply
proposing that this might not be a bad thing for chairs to consider doing if
they think it worthwhile.
