Whether your objective is to reduce carbon emissions because of

If teleconferencing actually worked the need to hold face to face
meetings would be reduced.

   I am constantly surprised how little interest there is within IETF
for teleconferecing that works well.

By work I mean really work, not almost, not provided there is no NAT,
not provided the firewall has pinhole router configuration.

   These are all "security" issues, for which we could find end-runs.
The problem I see is that we just don't care. :^(
