I agree with you. I would very much prefer to skip the social to fully hear the 50/100/200G technical presentations. There are many other things next week that I would prefer to skip to fully hear industry experts present their views.
It doesn't feel right that we are meeting for a full week on 50G, 100G, 200G, and 400G, and yet we can't find a few extra hours to not truncate substantive presentations into which the contributors have put in a great deal of work. These presentations are the substance of the meeting. They should not be the first to be sacrificed in the interest of schedule. They should be the last.
I am switching this reply to the 50G reflector from the 400G reflector, as I should have done in the my initial email.

Dear 50 Gb/s and NGOATH Ethernet Study Group Participants,
I have reviewed the uploaded presentations for next week's meeting, and I find them exceptionally substantive and rich in content. It is clear that a lot of work went into their preparation. Many of the presentations could easily fill a 1hr time slot for detailed explanation and extensive discussion. Unfortunately, with the limited meeting time available, the Chair has had to fit all the presentations into 20min slots Wednesday; 15min presentation time, 5min Q&A.
This means that speakers will be rushing through their material. This is a lost opportunity. The purpose of industry experts coming together is to study and discuss issues in depth, especially at such a critical juncture when we are making decisions that will determine technology directions.
I am wondering if SG Participants would consider meeting for two hours after the social on Wednesday, for example 8pm to 10pm, so that the Chair has typical 25min slots to work with. The difference between 20min and 15min presentation time is significant.
Thank you
Chris
