You tease us to jump to the link where you say:

> 1. Make it easier for people to be involved in the IETF.
> 2. Be even better positioned to use online collaboration.
> 3. Focus on linking open standards to code, operationals, and interoperability.
> 4. Evolve IETF sponsorship models to focus more on our work than meetings.

and I really could not agree more.
I agree with you that our model should change from meeting focused to work focused.
