Re: [nfsv4] Fwd: IETF 109 times

[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

Hi David and WG,

The official announcement regarding the upcoming meeting 

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/1IkcPFREybKrgPvhwSTxaM4R2j4/

says this:

As previously announced, IETF 109 will be an online meeting [1]. IETF 109
working sessions will take place 16-20 November, from 05:00 to 11:00 UTC each
day [2]. This time block was chosen to schedule the meeting during the normal
business hours of Bangkok, the original meeting location, and thus be consistent
with the intent of guidance in Section 2 of RFC 8719 related to meeting
rotation. IETF 107 and IETF 108 similarly started in the early afternoon local
time in the original meeting locations.

In response to experience from IETF 108 and the feedback received after the
meeting, several changes have been made:

- Working group (WG) session lengths are increased to 60 minutes and 120
minutes. 
- Breaks are lengthened to 30 minutes.
- Start time is now 12:00 in the original local meeting location timezone to
accommodate the resulting lengthened daily schedule.

Session requests are set to open on 8 September and registration is scheduled to
open the week of 28 September. Details about other important dates for IETF 109
are available at <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/important-dates/>.

The Hackathon will take place the week prior, 9-13 November, and we will share
more details about it (and other meeting-related events) as they become
available.

Sincerely,
Alissa Cooper, IETF Chair
Colin Perkins, IRTF Chair

If you are going for an Interrim meeting please don't schedule it for the 2
weeks before the IETF meeting or during the IETF meeting.

I also like to note that if anyone has issues participating if the WG selects a
north american friendly time zone please speak up to the chairs and me.

Cheers
