I reply because you signed TI-99, and I suspect it is a joke.  I used 
one in year 1988 and probably these computers dont exist anymore.

Joke aside, I dont think f2f meetings for IETF will happen before year 
2022.  Even then, it might be that only a few people will travel.

I think the work on organizing meetings would need to rather concentrate 
on how to best make online meetings.  I'd even say it is urgent, because 
as more time goes by, more and more trust and other advantages of IETF 
protocols risk of getting lost.  Strange things might happen.
