[MB] Based upon the current meeting schedules, we only have one slot left
whereby one could consider scheduling a plenary during lunch.  We already
have ISOC speakers on Tuesday, WG chairs on Wednesday and host lunch
speakers on Thursday.  And, Friday lunchtime is used by IESG/IAB to wrap-up
and ISOC to hold their meetings with members. So, it might be reasonable to
discuss the option of perhaps having the IAB tech topic during Monday's
lunch.  But, I don't think all aspects of IAB tech plenary or admin plenary
are well suited for a lunchtime session.  And, I don't think it's
necessarily fair to add the burden of arranging lunches for the masses to
the secretariat's responsibilities and the IETF budget, unless of course
folks want to exchange the $s that are allocated for cookies for sandwiches
on Mondays.  [/MB]

[MB] That may be, but you have no dietary restrictions and for those of us
that do, the options have not been good and in most cases Monday is our day
to do our reconnaissance to find something that does work.  It would be
really good if folks that don't have dietary restrictions not make
judgements on concerns raised by those that do. [/MB]
