There may be a wide range of opinions about what it means to run interim meetings "properly".(The parallel discussion about RFC 8252 indicates that this does happen — we should maybe move our attention to that discussion rather than searching for the reasons in the way we have been running interims. [This does not relieve us from the obligation to run them properly.])
IMO, they should be infrequent (like at most every two months),
publicly announced well in advance, held on dates and at times so
as to not conflict with face-to-face meetings, and held in a
variety of "time zones" so as to be equally accessible to all potential
participants.
And if a group finds itself wanting to have more interim meetings,
it's possible that it should instead make better use of mailing
lists.
