I saw this tactic deployed at PrepCom 3 where the IG caucus ended up with a
fine room, and no one else had anything! We looked on in envy.
Seriously, I have no problem with this, but is there a way that ad hoc
needs can be catered for? I am sure the IG Caucus will be generous in
others using it occasionally
Otherwise, how many offices are there? I think I read 'several' . Is this
three? Should we leave one that is available for use on an ad-hoc basis,
no more than an hour at a time, or something? A lot of needs that arise
just come out of the blue.
