Brian,
In Buenos Aires, the dinner times are substantially later and the schedule
was
adjusted to accommodate local conditions. There was a lot of positive
feedback
about the later starting time.
I'm sure you remember the Paris meeting where the IETF tried a different
evening
schedule & it was very popular.
So, in response to the feedback and as an experiment, the starting time is
later.
I believe Alexa included that this was an experiment in announcements.
Regards,
Alia

Hi,
Where do I find the discussion and subsequent rough consensus to switch the
starting time of the IETF f2f meeting days to 10 a.m.?
As far as I'm concerned that is a big mistake, wasting an hour every day
and making it (even more) difficult to relax in the evenings.
(If there is some local peculiarity in Buenos Aires and Berlin that makes
this more practical, it would be interesting to know.)
