I guess we're trying to make the remote participation experience closer to the 
real WG meeting.

horrible example, I agree :-)

But we want to keep track of them. Could be as easy as a form to be filled and 
acknowledged by the WG chair.

actually, we’re trying to improve remote participation so it’s not bad if it’s 
different. 
I wanted to address JohnK point: “do not do them at the expense of individual 
participation"

is it? What if there’s a WG session in the main IETF meeting where just lurkers 
are at the main session and the people doing most of the work are remote 
participants (in hubs or individuals). Isn’t it closer to an interim meeting?

I agree on avoiding “more-formal” as much as possible but I thought we were 
clear on what we are trying to accomplish.

That’s right, although it will attract more newcomers from the regions of 
people already familiar with on-site IETF meetings. 

But I will support you by now… we should focus on this objective:  "make 
remote-hubs more practical for folks already familiar with on-site IETF weeks"
