For the most part, I would describe this as "non-controversial".

One statement made in the note is "Also, we have seen significant benefits when two or more working groups meet together." To my knowledge, this has happened only once, in the context of a RIPE meeting, and for my working group it was pretty much a bust. Joel recorded our observations in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jaeggli-interim-observations.

Am I missing something? What "significant benefits" have been observed by correlating interim meetings of working groups that would not be having a combined meeting?
