Mostly quite quite a nice Statement.
Comments:
Interim face-to-face meetings can consume a lot of community resources,
including travel costs and time of participants.
After this, add something like:
This makes participation in an interim meeting far less inclusive
than is possible through a mailing list.
Virtual interim:
I suggest setting the bar at two meetings before needing careful
justification, rather than four. In other words, as soon as it really
does move into being a series, it needs justification.
One week notification is not enough. Given the vagaries of people's
schedules, notice needs to be longer. Two seems a minimum.
