        <br>
        I see your point about burnout from an extra day. We also
        probably will lose people because they can't afford additional
        travel expenses.<br>
        <br>
        However, the last two ICANN meetings, particularly SIN, showed
        that we already lose important contributors to conflicts for our
        sessions during the ICANN week. Client and employer demands, and
        general "I'm up to my ears in this stuff already and can catch
        up later" attitudes often trump the WG. In addition, based on
        experience, announcing closed meetings during the week (assuming
        we continue with that F2F model) invite the aggravation of
        having to explain why.<br>
        <br>
        I'm not a fan of an extra day. However, I think it's the only
        way to get the critical mass and focus that makes the F2F
        worthwhile.<br>
