This is all an important issue ... it seems to me that it should be
seriously discussed on ietf@ietf.org, of all places.

But of course we're starting to run into the problem that the first
generation of IETFers is just barely starting to die, so we've never
considered major changes to our mode of operation.

It's an important point whether this truly works from *anywhere* in the
world.  The current mode of operation was based on the idea that you
could work effectively in the IETF even if you were connected to the
Internet through a 9600 baud Usenet link.  I'm sure that full video is
now available to more places than were connected to the Internet back
then, but how ubiquitious is it outside the "developed" world?
