Hi Pete, what I've been always liking in IETF room setup is that the floor mics make discussion self-organized - those who want to discuss form a line and speak one past one, making easy for listeners to identify who is speaking and to follow the discussion. Yes, it makes the discussion slower than it could be if people can speak from their seats. But the problem, as I see it, with your suggested setup is that if there are more than a few folks willing to speak (each with his/her own mic), then there is usually a need for some moderator, who will give them a right to speak. Otherwise we'll hear either noise or mostly only most active (or quick) speakers. The WG chairs can be moderators, but any moderation is somewhat subjective and you need to indicate a willingness to speak to moderators (e.g. sitting for a long time with hand raised). And I participated remotely in a QUICK session with such room setup (that was a few meeting ago). From my recollection I had somewhat bad experience from it, because I had hard time trying to identify who was speaking (folks often forgot to introduce themselves and jabber scribe didn't help much since he/she probably had the same problem) and as far as I remember sometimes it happened that speakers talked simultaneously, making impossible to understand them for remote participants. So, I believe this setup is suited for small groups with 3-5 active speakers.
