I'm not sure I'd blame chairs so much, but anyway... Here's a suggestion - create a list for people who are active IETF participants but who miss a lot of meetings. (And ask people who don't match that profile, like me, to stay out of the discussion - we can read the archive if we're curious.)

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

Sure - there are other trade-offs, no doubt. But I think every time this topic has come up, the discussion is dominated by people that do attend meetings, and I'd be interested in what might come out if we tried that discussion just amongst non-attending active participants. If enough of 'em

2/3rds of the IETF meetings in the USA would exacerbate visa problems for many attendees. I don't mind some amount of regularity in meeting site, like Minneapolis, or going where it's inexpensive (by the way, the Boston area is really cheap in the winter) but I think you need more variety than
