Buzz,

Thanks. This sounds like an effective approach.

>Roger,  Thanx for the applause.  We wanted to get this out because it filled up so early on.  First-Come-First-Served is not our only rule, there is room for judgements about the greater-good for all 802 attendees, and the fairness rule which says that no WG should have a second slot guaranteed before other groups have had a chance for at least one, unless they can justify having 2 under the greater-good rule.  So I would expect that any later requests arriving before the deadline will be reviewed and some aditional options considered: increase to 3 slots per night, offer some possibly parallel slots where there are clearly disjoint interest areas, or arrange to post-pone one or more topics to our next session in Novemebr.  We do our best to be as flexible as possible but there are limits to what is reasonable.
