That is ok, I just thought meeting new comers for quick introduction
of 10 minutes will not make those paralell meetings disturbed much. We
may ask another question in the other side, to IETF/IAB/nomcom/ISOC
leaders: How many newcomers did you meet on Sunday, or how many will
you be able to meet within the week? The more efficient way is to meet
newcomers in the first day they come, and even 10 minutes is enough
when they gather in a room, that will have BIG impact, and BIG future
results.

I disagree, the way it was organised was not perfect but was useful.
It was organised by IETF Areas, but I think one important Area was
missing (General Area!), so I did not find MANET WG co-chairs, and in
the Routing Area which I participate there was only I2RS Chair, were
all of them not available or they were around, I am not sure!!!

Also, IMHO, I think that IAB should have a table like IETF Areas (but
I already was happy to meet IAB chair, not sure of other experiences),
also ISOC should have a table, IETFgeneral-area, nomcom, IAB leaders
should be easy to find. therefore, the organising was target Areas not
target bodies and leaders and managers (not all managers were
available, because I missed to find many).

I have only one day pass, so I don't have the week, not all the new
comers have ability to pay all days, or not all are ISOC fellows. So
we need to think of all possibilities of future new comers that have
attended for one or two days.
