Usually, ietf-draft authors that pay in ietf-meetings will get the
best outcome from their efforts and get more interests from the world.
Remote participants need to be encouraged/increased so making it free
is an excellent ietf-strategy currently. IMHO, the utilization&fee
issue is not in the side of remote participants but is in the side of
the f2f participants, because it is still not totally-managed by
session/meeting chairs within IETF meetings (which may be a very good
approach for flexibility). IETF meetings are productive and efficient
but could we make more effort to increase that? we may think to add
fees on draft-authors that need more than 10 minutes to present
their-work/wg-draft?
Is it possible to chair a session and you get 20 participants lined up
while that draft presentation was scheduled for 15 minutes. Or may I
"line up" for a long time with no much expectation of how long it will
take while the queue has 3 only. Could we have in IETF a determination
of best practice maximum input time per f2f participant per draft.
I suggest that IETF management guide session chairs to announce
maximum input duration time per draft per meeting-participant, so we
can get the highest efficiency per session/WG-meeting.

Hi,
It can't be that difficult to make a tool that everyone (including those
participating f2f) use to "line up" behind the microphone.
Many virtual meeting tools already provide a raise-your-hand feature.

Is there anybody besides the Meetecho folks whose task it is to
"make it work"? Is there anybody _including_ the Meetecho folks who
has the ability to arrange similar priority at the mike to that of
on-site participants?
A tremendous amount of work goes on behind the scenes to make this work, not
just the meetecho folks. I remember reporting a problem in a meeting and
having Alexa show up five minutes later checking to see if it was fixed, and
I know that other folks from AMS and from the NOC work hard on this.
