Fundamentally the problem with mixed attendance is that it's possible to
feel like you are having a successful meeting when it's not at all
successful for the remote attendees. In order for there to be parity, it
has to be the case that a failure of the remote service stops people from
meeting in person. Which is hard to do, since the people who are there in
person can just talk amongst each other regardless of what the official
policy may be.

Hybrid meetings failed in the past because there was no collective
discipline to operate in this way. There was a great deal of generous
volunteer support for online participants in in-person meetings, and so it
was sometimes possible to have a successful meeting, but we were depending
heavily on the kindness and mindfulness of in-person participants, and it
didn't consistently work out.
