It seems clear to me that if you don't meet in a meeting that is officially
part of the IETF, then you aren't under the note well.   So if you meet
Phillip in the airport, no Note Well.   On the other hand, informal
sessions on Friday can be covered by the Note Well if they are announced as
such, to as great an extent as any other meeting can.   IANAL, of course,
but this seems straightforward.

I've found Hackathons to be valuable, and the fact that they precede the
IETF is very good.   I agree with you that earlier "informal" discussions
are more important than later ones.   Having those covered under the note
well when desired would also be good—I don't think that a conversation in
the hallway is covered under the note well.   Like you I would be curious
to know if the IETF lawyer has an opinion on this.
