A Hotel Room Perspective of the IETF

I travelled to the 71st IETF meeting in Philadelphia to do some IETF and NMRG business. What I did not know by the time of arrival in Philadelphia was that I would follow the IETF meeting mostly from my hotel room. But on Monday, it became very clear that I got a bad cold (the IETF cold as some say) and on Tuesday I managed to sleep 15(!) hours in a row. Tomorrow, we have the NMRG meeting and I am looking already forward to sit in the plane to Amsterdam later that day.
