The problem is that many of the things that make a meeting better for remote people, make it worse for local people. You can see that even in IETF meetings today - the virtual interim meetings were everyone is remote is a much better experience for remote people than meetings where lots of people are local in one room and some of the people are remote.
To make any serious progress on this, I suspect we will have to discuss the trade offs of how a WG best makes progress vs fairness to people that don't/can't come. Note that depending on if you think I should have used don't or can't come in the previous sentences already highly biases the question.
