I do not think that creating an issue for this issue is heavy-weight at all.
 Just sending out an email could have resulted in no action at all.

I got less out of the VF2F than I would have if all the presentations had
been available beforehand.  I feel that future WG meetings would go better
if presentation materials could be looked over by WG members before the
actual presentation.

There is a trade-off between getting the best possible presentations and
requiring the presentations to be available earlier.  However, WG meeting
time is a very valuable resource and I think that it would be better used if
WG members could do more preparation.
