Given the number of people browsing the web or reading e-mail during
meetings, I wonder whether cutting off Internet access beyond internal
network services for jabber, presentation materials, etc during IETF
meetings wouldn't actually _increase_ productivity.  It could make
people pay attention to the technical discussions.  Some people could
even spend the time writing specifications.  Or _implement_ the
specifications and test them against others, although that might be too
far-fetched.
