And again for context, we tended to debate that quite a bit few years ago with in-person workshops, and whether suitable conferencing equipment was available, whether it made sense even if it was available, etc. I’m in the camp where for most things a live stream should be provided. However, doesn’t take away Colin’s strong point about other mechanisms for providing transparency and access. In a lot of cases the access to structured reports, all papers, software, or even recordings are all very good mechanisms, indeed sometimes the best mechanisms as Colin points out. Jari
