I liked the introductory film on Youtube how the IETF works. I am a huge 
fan of video based education. I would like to argue that some of the 
sessions should be well worth spending money doing a good video recording 
of, at least once, and then perhaps that session can be skipped for the 
next few meetings and instead we can refer people to the video instead.
It's often better to spend more resources doing some thing well, once, 
that lasts, than to try to save money short term by re-doing something 
with less resources, often.
