Michael,

We keep doing this because you can't turn people away, and tourists can
have a legitimate reason to be in the room and have useful things to say,
even if they're not a primary contributor.

If a WG finds that it can't make technical progress during an IETF week,
then call interim meetings, either virtual or in-person. One WG I
participate in had a three-day in-person interim meeting and we made a huge
amount of progress.

Cheers,
Andy
