That would be fine, but it needs to be on some annual check-list
held by IASA, I think. (There's the same problem for one of the
things I've been editing, https://www.ietf.org/standards/process/informal/ .)

No, if there's breakfast in the breakout areas, it's for everybody.
That seems to apply in North America, if the meeting rooms are in the
main hotel. But not in most other countries, and not in convention
centre venues. So with the three continents model for meeting locations,
it's definitely no longer the norm. So

 , in some venues, continental breakfast on Monday through Friday mornings,

might be less misleading.
