Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Based on the feedback, the IESG is going
to go ahead with this change starting with IETF 100. We will also incorporate
the comments received about the length of the meeting week into ongoing IESG
discussions about different ways of managing the agenda time overall.

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.
If you have feedback about this change, please send it to
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org <mailto:ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org>, or exceptionally
to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org <mailto:iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org>, by July 5,
2017.
Thanks,
The IESG
