The IETF mailserver will reject this mail because I have the temerity  
to use IPv6 without a PTR record (and sorting that out involves  
finding another nameserver), so feel free to quote gratuitously...

Definitely against this - paying per presentation just fills me with  
horror. Most people have to travel over a weekend anyway, so its  
either the weekend before, with all the tutorials, or after, with  
nothing.

Now this really makes me think - what if Monday was filled with  
lightning talk style quick-fire presentations on various WGs and  
documents? I suspect more or less one track per Area or perhaps AD  
would work, with presentations limited to 5 or 10 minutes. There's no  
need to limit this to just WGs, either - key WG docs could have their  
own talk, as could individual documents.

The result would be that on Mondays, attendees could very easily do a  
catch-up and cross-area run.

I think we would really benefit from this, as it'd provide an  
excellent place to gain good cross-area awareness - and that ought to  
breed better review and integration.

Dave.
