Re: [802SEC] Singapore plenary session tutorials
Hi Roger & Colleagues, I do think we can do this for Singapore for the
following reasons:
1) We appear to have plenty of meeting space for a large presentation room
that we will use for the 802 Workshop (Sat 1-4pm), the new attendee training
session (Sun 7-9pm), the 802 Welcome to Singapore by our Hosts (Mon
11am-12), the Monday evening Tutorials (Mon 6-10:30pm), any Tuesday evening
event needed, the 802.1 Technical Plenary (Wed 10am-12), the Wednesday
Evening Host (IDA & I2R) Technical Plenary (6-7pm), and anything else we
might need (e.g. joint plenaries, closing plenaries, etc.). We can keep
this large presentation room set-up and available all-week for use for by
any WGs on a first-come-first-served request basis.
2) Our Technical hosts (IDA & I2R) have already requested that we allow up
to 50 of their members attend the Monday Tutorials, the Wednesday Host
Technical Plenary, and the Social so we were going to provide guest access
to those events already, so this would just increase that list.
3) I think we should consider whether we want to try to continue this Open
Tutorial policy for all non-North American plenaries or even for all
plenaries regardless of location. The only issue, I think, would be having
a suitable space and some clearly distinguishable Guest badges that could be
provided for non-registered attendees so we have some control and can track
attendance for future planning.
Thanx, Buzz

Subject: [802SEC] Singapore plenary session tutorials
Folks,
I'm following up on Item (9) below:
"use EC reflector to determine if there is consensus to make the Singapore
plenary session tutorial slots open to interested parties at no charge"
This was just an idea that popped into my head during the telecon, but I
think it's worth considering. It would help connect us to the local
technical community, acting as a kind of extension of the Saturday workshop.
The marginal cost to us would be about zero, I think. We would lose out on
some revenue that might have been generated from folks who would have
attended only the tutorials, but I think it would be a good investment. I
suppose another risk is related to the additional uncertainty regarding the
number of seats we need. However, I suppose we have sufficient space to
handle that.
So, I support the idea. What about you?
Roger
