Absolutely true for Nomcom and similarly there are folks pulling together
BoFs who find they have similar types of schedules.  The only difference is
that this is a schedule that happens every IETF and that IETF is usually
1-1.5 days longer.

I didn't become an AD expecting this pre-reserved hotel block and I can
certainly manage without it.
I do think it makes me more effective so I take advantage of it - but I'd
also be fine taking luck of the
draw.
