Maybe consider moving IEPG to a more prime-time IETF
meeting week slot? (Or any equivalent.) The couple of
times I've gotten to IEPG, I was struck by how it was
higher quality than average IETF presentations. For
me, I always really like finding out about cases where
reality != theory and I bet I'm far from alone.

So, I'd argue a bit against a one-off BoF or workshop
and more for a recurring opportunity for fact-based
detailed presentations.
