Re: Meeting "lounges" at IETF meetings

[Ole Jacobsen <[e-mail]>]

The narrowness of the corridoors, placement of food/drink and all that 
was discussed in our wrap-up meeting this morning, and indeed the 
issues you have raised were indentified as areas for improvement. 
Since we are coming back to THIS hotel, there are certainly things 
that can be done better, and will be done better, next time.
