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.
