Re: [111attendees] test

Just wondering what would be to have different simultaneous
locations for the same IETF.
If travelling abroad is either difficult
because of quarantine requirements, or too risky,
maybe travelling to another city or cities inside borders could
be a solution. I think an arrangement with exclusive use of a co-work
or meeting sites with remote connections during IETF is something
between a single-site IETF and everybody at home.
This may help to solve remote working issues and
reduce travel expenses.
My two cents.
Regards,
