Re: [Sidrops] Reviewing conflicts from IETF 115 in session request tool

[Jeff Tantsura <[e-mail]>]

Thanks Liz and Nathalie!

For RTGWG we commonly ask to avoid any contention with Routing Area working groups, however without mentioning any other area wg’s (it is already complicated enough to find a non overlapping time slot).
Liz - would it work if non Routing Area wg chairs mention RTGWG in their list of conflicts to avoid and you, when scheduling would take it into consideration?

Cheers,
Jeff

>>> In the IETF 115 meeting survey six respondents called out RTGWG and SIDROPS when answering Q19, “How many times did you have a conflict between two sessions that were scheduled in the same time slot?" However, to date, these groups have not listed each other as Conflicts to Avoid in the Session Request tool.
>>> As we start to plan for IETF 116, we are asking you to consider this feedback and update your Conflicts to Avoid as appropriate. If you need assistance, the Secretariat is happy to make updates in the Datatracker on your behalf, but we do need clear guidance on what changes to make, and how to record any new conflicts (i.e. chair conflict, technology overlap or key participant conflict).
>>> Finally, we’d like to remind everyone that the wg mailing list receives a copy of each session request, and we encourage you to review the noted Conflicts to Avoid at the time of request, so that you can reach out to the working group chairs if you feel something is missing or incorrect.
