3. Summary The P802.15 Plenary & Interim Meetings can be more effective
January 2000
Summary
The P Plenary & Interim Meetings can be more effective
I suggest the following Session changes
Start at 8:00a vs. 8:30a and making the work day 7 hours long vs. 6.5 hours
Deleting Full WG Meetings other than First Day/Last Day.
Requires a rule change, I think

16. Conclusion P802.15 Formally adopt new Plenary Session
January 2000
Conclusion
P Formally adopt new Plenary Session
4 Day/24.5 Hours (Slide 8)
P Formally adopt new Interim Meeting
5 Day/30 Hours (Slide 11)
4 Day/28 Hours (Slide 12)
This is accomplished by a P rules change
Opening at 8:00a and closing at 5:00p
Deleting Full WG Meetings other than First Day/Last Day.
Might want to review Issues
Joint Meeting - Moving to Monday late morning slot (Slot #2) during Plenary and Interim Meetings might be more effective than Wed
Joint Tutorial Slot(s) - Coordinate to offset parallelisms e.g., avoid issues in Sponsor Ballot by providing first hand information 2Way
Coordinate serial Opening/Closing Meetings to offset parallelisms e.g., if parallel Members will have a hard time attending open/close of each others Full WG Meetings
