I also agree. This is good idea.
(with my individual hat on... ;-) )

Hi all,
Based on a suggestion from Paul Hoffman, the IESG believes it would
be beneficial to denote the official start of IETF meetings to be on
Saturday rather than Sunday, starting with IETF 100. We believe this
would be sensible given that events such as the hackathon and code
sprint start on Saturday, and may make it easier for some participants
to get travel approval to attend those events. This change would be
reflected in the dates posted on the IETF web site and sent out in
email announcements. We are not proposing any changes in terms of the
scheduling of any meeting-related events, the full availability of the
meeting network starting on Sunday, the opening of on-site
registration, or the meeting fee.
I think this is a fine idea, essentially formalizing what has happened
informally. I suspect once in effect it will push the network to be
deployed earlier, but given current Saturday events, that was also
probably going to happen at some point.
Thanks,
Bob
