Let's talk briefly about what is necessary for a Remote Hub and some of
the associated challenges.
1) A physical location for the meeting. Since an IETF Meeting has
about 8 parallel sessions, trying to truly provide access to all of
the sessions would mean at least 8 different conference rooms.
2) Limited attendance and interest: A particular geography is
unlikely to have folks interested in every WG - and perhaps not even
more than 1.
3) Split Community: Many active IETFers are off attending the
physical IETF meeting, which leaves those who can't go to attend the
Remote Hub. Sometimes that works fine - where there are folks who
are well connected into the IETF and can explain things as needed
and yet don't attend all the physical meetings - and sometimes it
can leave an experience gap in the room.
4) Inconvenience of time-zone: Very few people are interested in
getting up in the middle of the night to drive even 30 minutes to
sit in a conference room by themselves or with a couple other folks
- and have the needed participants for conversations be physically
elsewhere.
I concur with all of the above. I don't see how these are likely to be
overcome.
Thanks,
Paul
