Re: Side meetings experiment at IETF 99

Yoav,

As indicated in Suresh's email, the existing on-site FCFS room that holds
around 16 people will continue to be
available.  There will also be a room that holds about 30 people, in a
U-shape, that will be available for sign-ups
a couple weeks before IETF (when the IETF agenda comes out).

Does that help clarify?

Regards,
Alia

Hi, Suresh.

How is this experiment different from the sign-up room that has been
available for the last several meetings with a sign-up sheet by the door?

I mean, other than making the sign-up online.

Will a sign-up room still be available, or is this experiment replacing
that?

Thanks

Yoav

Hi all,
 The IESG has discussed how to improve the path for potential new topics
to be discussed transparently in the IETF community.  For some cross-area
topics, it is quite useful to have active conversation among a group of
people to work on defining the potential work and how it interacts with
existing efforts.  As the IETF week is quite busy, it can be a challenge to
arrange these side-meetings to avoid conflicts.  To facilitate the
scheduling of these conversational side-meetings, the IESG has decided to
provide a meeting room at IETF 99 in Prague for around 30 people, with a
U-shaped table, that will be available for first-come first-served (FCFS)
signup online as soon as the final IETF meeting agenda is published.  This
experiment will be conducted for IETF 99 in Prague and will replace AD
approval for rooms for side-meetings for potential new topics. Proponents
of potential new topics are reminded that the BoF deadline is June 2; this
includes non-WG forming BoFs.  The on-site signup FCFS room (seats about
16) will continue to be available at IETF 99.

Thanks
Suresh
(on behalf of the IESG)
