Aside from a WG chairs lunch, which has been on Wednesdays usually, Tuesday
last time, there is not any formal meeting.  There has been a WG chairs beer
event, historically Wednesday night, but as Fred has said, that hasn't
occured for a few meetings.

While one might be fortunate to sit near an AD one wants to chat with, many
ADs do not have time/energy/etc. to attend the beer event, and even if they
all did, it's often too loud and too hard to move around to chat.

ADs do hold office hours, and that's something that I think belongs in some
of the unstructured time.  The goal is for WG chairs to be able to sit down
and discuss issues in the WG for a quiet 15 minutes.  Unfortunately, this
requires the chairs to think, "I should go chat", and this does not usually
happen until after the WG has entered into some extreme dysfunction.
