Seems a reasonable proposal. However, the devil is in the

challenging is that "if any member feels that the
presentation..., time permitting." Its the "time
permitting" part that is of concern. In particular, if we
have N proposals and M < N slots (ie., time for M talks,
not N), and all N proposals have proponents, how do you
envision that being resolved?
Hi Dave,
I can see a number of different approaches, depending on differing
absolute and relative values of M and N. Here's some possible things
that might happen:
a) Try to decrease N by elimination. This could involve more reviews
of the N proposals to see which ones the program committee feels are
most interesting. This might succeed if M and N differ only slightly.
b) Try to decrease N by rescheduling. Some proposals might have to
wait until the next meeting.
c) Try to increase M by adding meeting time. Add more time slots at
IETF, before or after IETF, or an outright interim meeting.
d) Something that we haven't thought of yet.
Obviously, this is something of a judgement call that we will have to
make when we have both M and N in hand and can see the presentations.
Just to reiterate, please note that this process applies to *new*
proposals.
Regards,
Tony
