* Finalising the agenda (far) before it currently is, so that people can

The agenda of a session is supposed to be finalized at least two weeks 
before.  As you are a working group chair you already know how it goes. :-)  
Instead of arguing about why it is difficult to finalise an agenda

I don’t see anyone arguing about *why* it’s difficult to finalise the agenda — 
that seems to be well-understood.


I'll ask you how much notice would the developers and implementers require 
for travel scheduling.

At least two months for the draft agenda; preferably three. Long-distance 
airfares generally start rising in that period of time, and most people who 
don’t do this for a living need to request and obtain permission to travel, 
which can add weeks of delay.

Regards.
