I’ve come across this recently for a meeting which was trying to solicit input ion certain networking topics worldwide.  The talks are recorded, and the meeting run twice in 24 hours at different times of the day (2pm UTC and 7am UTC) with talks shown and discussion following each, and the outputs from both meetings merged. 

Would it be crazy to repeat IETF sessions twice a day?   Imagine last week’s schedule, but delivered at (say) 11am UTC and  11pm UTC, potentially with different chairs to avoid the 4am Bob scenario.  Since all decisions are “taken to the list”, then does it matter if two instances of (say) 6man at 11am and 11pm UTC might make different points and have different threads of discussion?

Just putting it out there.
