I also have no doubt one could do a 1000 person remote meeting.

That being said, I've tried to do remote attendence at meetings
both where there is a small timezone offset and a large timezone
offset.  The small timezone offset "works" but in no way replaces
face to face meetings.  The large timezone offset only works if you
have 1 or 2 working groups to want to attend.

Face to face forces attendees to be mostly in sync with respect to
the timezone.  BA was a 10 hour shift for me but it was do able.


Well, keep in mind that a 1000-person in-person meeting is pretty hard as well. Sure, it works as a plenary session, but in-person working meetings also break down at pretty low numbers.

Now, if one thinks about multiple, simultaneous, remote meetings - of 10-50 people each - things start to sound a more feasible.

Just a thought,
