If we don't want to hold meetings on Friday afternoons due to conflicts, I'd much rather see us eliminate one of the plenaries and hold meetings during that time slot. I was already planning to bring this up again in the IAB, but now that you mention it

I think John has the issue nailed. I think it would be easy to try to eliminate the plenaries and then end up with a full Friday, anyway. I would offer that it would be very difficult, however, to take a compressed Friday and later add an afternoon to it. Thus, I am much more in favor of a
