Re: [re-ECN] Draft Agenda

Hi,

I believe this text deals with demos that the organization *hosting*  
an IETF meeting might want to show on-site. For example, if Nokia were  
to host an IETF and we wanted to show some new phones, the secretariat  
- or the IESG? - would need to OK this. We don't want the hosts to do  
too much advertising at the venue.

I don't think this applies to demos done in the scope of a WG or BOF -  
there, it is up to the chairs to decide what is appropriate IMO.
