Philip,
Is there really a demand for interim meetings that cannot be
supported in IETF regular meetings? We meet 3 times a year, why isn't
that enough? I don't know of any W3C working group meeting more than
three times a year.
Rather than trying to pile requirements onto interim meetings, can we
work out a way to accommodate these needs in regular meetings?
I would like to suggest we go a stage further and change the way the
IETF meetings work.
People are having interim meetings because a one or two day meeting
on one topic is a lot more productive than an IETF WG session.
Or because weekly meetings are more efficient.
But are these really author/design team meetings or are they really
interims?
A meeting amongst authors doesn't need to be an interim, it's more like
a design team -- in both cases contribution of the individuals is
reflected in a draft.
A meeting that is taking the place of discussion on a list, with
non-authors contributing, certainly does qualify as an interim.
