The IETF has a limited number of slots (150 or so) and about as many working groups. That gives about 1 slot to each WG, a second slot is only granted after all requests for a 1st slot have been met. That makes it hard to plan for multiple slots during the week, as it isn't clear that the 2nd slot will be available. The solution is to have a meeting the day before or after the meeting, like the meeting that was cancelled. Then a slot is guaranteed, the additional costs are small for the participants. This is allowed if the request is made on time. In the past we have done this, with a friendly RIR footing the bill for the room and the coffee.
