Tim,

so far, the proposal I have the most sympathy for is to add a post-lunch 
Friday session. The San Diego agenda was NOT easy on many!

For the last "n" meetings, we have always started out with Friday morning 
as "real sessions"; as the agenda has developed, the secretariat has tended 
to fill in Friday last, and people have tended to ask for "not Friday" 
meetings - which has been accomodated by the secretariat.

Sometimes this has led to Friday being no sessions, or Friday having just 
"odd" sessions (like second slots). Last time, it was pretty full.

So we're starting out the same as last time: Friday is real.

But - I think "BOF only" is a non-starter; BOFs are our official procedure 
for having an IETF face-to-face discussion on whether or not to start a 
working group. Having all of them on top of each other would be - to put it 
mildly - not optimal.
(Yes, some BOFs have other purposes. But this is one of them.)

                         Harald
