However if this goes at the end of the agenda, the prospect of eating into the coffee/lunch/whatever break might mean those discussions will be focused and to the point.
Meanwhile I also got a friendly nudge internally that we need a volunteer to inform the speakers about time management and other logistics, which is usually done by the chairs. If people agree, I am happy to volunteer some RIPE NCC time on this and contact everybody. My proposal would be to make a 60/30 divide on the presentations and the discussion. Splitting 60 minutes amongst 4 presentations, I would suggest 12 minutes each leaving room for 1 (or 2) questions at the end of each talk and be pretty strict on the time management (similar to lightning talks). Would leave 30 minutes for the open discussion, selection of volunteers and what else the group deems useful. Of course I also support Jim’s comment to try and sort many of that out on this list prior to the meeting. Any comments or objections to the proposed time plan, regardless of order? And are people comfortable with us coordinating this with the speakers (I’ll be mailing myself) on behalf of this cabal? Regards, Marco Hogewoning -- External Relations - RIPE NCC
