Longer or more meetings?

Yes. It seems like most groups or chairs have now learned to concentrate more on the
essential items. I also like the style e.g. in the SIP WG where presentations titles are
of the form 'Issues in XXX'. This sends the message that one shouldn't be presenting
one's new and wonderful protocol idea. Rather, the idea is to have a high-bandwidth
discussion of the controversial or open questions around a subject that has already
been documented in a draft, read by many folks, and discussed on the list.
