Re: Thanks for the new note well

[Toerless Eckert <[e-mail]>]

I have seen no response to the suggestions i sent to ietf (subject: "better but no cigar")

So yes, i still think something stripped down along the lines of what i was
suggesting would improve readability and usability at the beginning of sessions
quite a bit.

Oh, and i wonder if it might be also useful to have some blinking subtitle
at the bottom "APPLIES TO ALSO TO IETF SIDE MEETINGS" - because i think many side
meetings still forget this and it's most easy to learn if it's also on the single
official slide.

Cheers
