YEah, I also doubt that the BM would ever become a "Major Event" at a Worldcon. This past years (LA Con) BM was well attended, and people who care about what happens, attend the meeting - at least that is what I hope.
Of course, I am amazed at the number of people I overhear during an Worldcon saying something about why such an such Hugo is a category. When I try and explain that there is a BM, and that they have a voice in such matters - most people look at my with blank looks on their face.
Besides, isn't a future Worldcon supposed to print the current WSFS constitution, and all BM amendments that will be ratified at that Worldcon? Would this not constitute an "advance notice" to the attending members, who are of course members of WSFS, that some piece of legislation that they might be interested in will be taken up at the BM?
Besides, I kind of like the early BM times, as typically not much really happens in the early hours, so moving it to the afternoon would make it harder for me to attend the BM.
