We believe this would be sensible given that events such as the hackathon and code sprint start on Saturday, and may make it easier for some participants to get travel approval to attend those events. This change would be reflected in the dates posted on the IETF web site and sent out in email announcements. We are not proposing any changes in terms of the scheduling of any meeting-related events, the full availability of the meeting network starting on Sunday, the opening of on-site registration, or the meeting fee.
