The biggest improvement would be if people could sign up for the meetings 2
years in advance, so that we could book big enough meeting facilities.
The assignment to rooms is based on the WG/BOF chairs' estimates of
attendance. Getting better estimates would help - but this would have to be
done entirely automagically if it were to help the (small) secretariat
staff, and be filled in correctly.
Anyone volunteering to write/host the data entry pieces of this, so that we
can test it at a forthcoming IETF?
