Nicely said. On your last point:
Indeed, rather than asking how we can optimise the meeting location
for people who live at 1234 Pine Street, Springfield, USA, why don't
we ask why we are having three meetings a year? I hear there's
something called the Internet. Do we really need _everybody_ to get
together in one place so often? Especially given that we have such a
globally dispersed population that we now have to trek all over the
globe for meetings? Maybe we need to have more interim virtual
meetings, and fewer in-person meetings.
WGs can and should apply discipline to make email the primary mode of
interacting, with occasional virtual meetings and even more occasional
physical meetings. Just because there is a physical meeting doesn't
mean a WG should let issues pile up to be resolved there.
