These are really the same things. A good quality meeting 'Fringe' is a defining characteristic of a mature community. Let it happen. The fringe is the test-bed for stuff too crazy or early for the formal agenda. Promote this ad-hoc stuff on the nanog site. A good fringe will encourage more long-term attendees and attendee loyalty ( == revenue) without the program co-ordinators having to do more work.
