Well, if we make remote participation too good, we may end up with rather empty meeting rooms and a bankrupt IETF ;) What we should do, given the rush of work that happens pre-ID cutoff, is maybe look at such technology for interim meetings, and have the IETF support some infrastructure to help interim meetings run more effectively, maybe even without a physical meeting venue. Some WGs might then run more interim virtual meetings and help distribute the workload over the year more smoothly. -- Tim/::1 _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
