understood.... and I've been that tourist as well as benefitted from review
From people who were not primary contributors.

Three questions:
1) did that WG have a significantly shorter, or no WG session at IETF?
2) was there a registration fee, and was remote attendance possible for this
   three-day interim meeting?
3) a three-day in-person interim is a pretty big commitment, did you get any
   tourists?

Okay, these questions may be leading and/or rhetorical :-)

My contention is that if the IETF-week meeting is not useful due to
accomodating tourists, and we have to do something elsewhere, then that
really means that we are paying for rooms for presentations for tourists^Wadhoc-cross-area-review.
