I suggest in London that you assign only maximum 10 minutes present per WG 
draft and maximum 5 minute for individual draft (as limit policy).


I'll suggest that that question is primarily ad hominem and even if it weren't, it's not a particularly helpful line of response. It doesn't matter what the background is of the person asking the question.

What matters is whether a rigid rule limiting time per topic is helpful.

I think it isn't.  Some topics require more.  Some require less.

The usual focus in IETF discussions about meeting management is, instead, about /how/ time is used, rather than how much of it, notably pressing to avoid tutorial or reportorial content, instead focusing on discussion of pending items, such as those creating an impasse.
