I don't think you need a "hub" concept to re-run Dhruvs experiment if i understad it right. If you have some local community of possible interested newcomers, you can just tell those newcomers after the IETF what the list of WG sessions are that your local expert (e.g.: Dhruv and some other local experts) can talk to. Then you give the newcomers some time to watch the youtube recordings on their own time, and then you make a community meeting with Q&A about the sessions between newcomers and experts. Which can be in person or hybrid. On Thu, Mar 27, 2025 at 12:51:38PM +0000, Salz, Rich wrote: > >So if I have to travel at all, I would want to go to the official meeting site. > > Sure. But for those who won’t or can’t travel to be on-site are remote hubs useful? Dhruv’s experiment says it can be. Should the IETF work to support those communities? -- --- tte@xxxxxxxxx
