Currently IETF is improving WG engagement but not sure about Area, However, IMHO the f2f meeting is more important for IETF_Areas, New_WGs, New_technology, and New_Participants, so we may need more organisation at IETF_Area levels. > > 1. > > On 05.04.23 08:19, Lars Eggert wrote: > > > We've always trusted the WG chairs to make that determination, and use the different available participation venues (mailing list, in-person and remote interims, in-person meetings, etc.) in ways that is most effective for their WG for their current work items.

For example some IETF_Areas have separate WGs with similar f2f_Participants, so why not they have one slot together? It is good we have separate WG_Lists to focus tasks/discussions, but within f2f_meeting we may need to join slot of some WGs to motivate Area productivity (it will be easier for the ADs to decide when some WGs joined). best regards, AB >
