Some additional information: During this evening we have put this discussion at the end of the agenda, after the IAB open microphone session. WRT timing: We have approximately 30 minutes allocated for about 10 mins of introduction and 20 mins of discussions. While I do not want to be strict with respect to the end time I do want to respect that people need food and want to try to close microphone lines at 19:30. Until now I have not seen any questions for the IAB open microphone session. I suspect that the open microphone doesn't need the allocated 30 mins so we may gain some time at the start.
