I think the biggest problem that high quality remote participation will

to a model that doesn't require so many people to travel to get the work done 
is a good thing and ought to be a longterm objective.

Fewer F2F meetings per year would be one way to accomplish this: encourage more 
interim virtual meetings, and then cut back to two or one f2f meeting per year. 
  Of course now we have strayed a very long way from the original topic, but I 
guess that was inevitable... :)
