Further, in-person meetings are so second-millennium. How about greater
use of text chat, voice chat, and video chat for interim meetings? Are
three in-person meetings a year really necessary if we make use of
collaborative technologies that have become common in the last 15 years?
All that will do is shift the discussion from "where shall we hold the
meeting" to "what time/timezone shall we have for our conf call". Given
that we have people participating from across the globe, trying to arrange
a time that is acceptable for all participants will be just as hard as
trying to find a meeting venue acceptable to all.
Unfortunately we don't have scheduling tools that will help resolve issues
like that (or at least make it easier than a multiple party email
exchange/negotiation) - but some of us are working on that!
