Can we make sure this question is asked explicitly in the post-meeting survey?
That would allow feedback to be collated in an efficient way.
I’d just add a data point on overall meeting time, comparing Berlin to the
previous two European meetings:
Berlin (July 2016)
Mon 10.00am - 8.00pm
Tue 10.00am - 6.20pm
Wed 10.00am - 8.10pm
Thu 10.00am - 7.30pm
Fri 10.00am - 1.20pm
Prague (July 2015)
Mon 9.00am - 7.50pm (+50 mins)
Tue 9.30am - 6.40pm (+50 mins)
Wed 9.00am - 7.40pm (+30 mins)
Thu 9.00am - 7.10pm (+40 mins)
Fri 9.00am - 1.20pm (+60 mins)
So Prague had 3 hours and 50 minutes extra session time, but two plenaries.
London (March 2014)
Mon 9.00am - 7.50pm (+50 mins)
Tue 9.00am - 6.40pm (+50 mins)
Wed 9.00am - 8.20pm (+70 mins)
Thu 9.00am - 8.40pm (+130 mins)
Fri 9.00am - 1.20pm (+60 mins)
And London had 6 hours extra session time, but also an extra plenary.
So we do seem to have cut down on overall meeting time by shifting to a 10am
start, having not recovered the time ‘lost’ to one plenary. And our meeting has
6 hours less session time than we had in London for IETF 89. (And that is a
Friday’s worth…)
