Right.

So how about we experiment with allowing recordings of presentations to be added to
the meeting material upfronts. Aka: you can have a long detailled presentation, but not
during the WG time slot, but upload it eg: one week in before. Then during your 10 min slot
you can have only <= 4 slides.

Not sure what our current tooling would say about presentation recording files.
Whats the best current "standard" for that, eg: file format with slides and audio
that can be created by multiple apps...

I know what you're thinking "another idiot that thinks technology can improve the world".
Guilty.

Clearly, impossible to schedule this with our current number of working groups, but I think it would make for a more productive week.

Thats what we try to do in anima where we luckily did get two meetings so far.
This is non-applicable to more WGs because the cost for more smaller rooms goes up,
or multitaskers could not multiplex enough work anymore ??
