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.
An hour here, and evening there, half-a-day next...
I'll suggest that this ought to be part of a basic discussion about the
overall time budget for the entire week.
For example, there were some comments when Bits n' Bites was first
proposed that the week was already over-full with IETF activities and
that taking a way one more evening with a scheduled activity was
actually counter-productive.
In spite of being a community that must do its engineering based on
fundamental resource constraints -- this was, after all, an essential
motivation for inventing packet-switching -- we schedule our week with
little consideration of trade-offs and limitations.
