Why is attending biweekly con calls exclusionary?
It depends where one lives and whether one has a full-time occupation. But really the point isn't there, it's whether the result of such calls (which de facto are design team meetings, not WG sessions) is brought back to a genuine WG plenary, electronically or in person, for an effective debate.
I'd probably be more comfortable if these meetings were pitched as open design team meetings; that would make things clearer.

I find attending three in person meetings a year to be highly exclusionary.

1) Having virtual interims is a welcome development. My strong preference is for bi weekly virtual conference calls.
I emphatically disagree. That's a great way for WGs to become echo chambers and to exclude broad participation. Again, any WG that is doing this should be shut down, or at least suspended.
