If you are claiming that remote participation for BOFs is more
challenging, then I *strongly* agree.  

Much of the problem is not technical, but administrative (agendas and
materials being incomplete), and also proceedural (many many more
cross-microphone discussions, etc.)

The biggest challenge is however that we are seeing a massive increase
in "Bar-BOFs"... it's one thing if 5 people get together to figure out a
problem statement, it's another when it's announced...
