I suspect that what you will find is that of the remote attendees, zero are there to read email in a meeting room.   So I think this 1% figure you've pulled out of your hat is probably not a good one to use: it's likely that a regular remote attendee is very involved in the IETF.

For my own part, now that I'm no longer an AD as of March, I'm seriously questioning whether I want to keep flying to IETF meetings every time.   It's a huge carbon footprint, expensive for my company, and really disruptive to my life.   IETF has been getting better and better at supporting remote attendees.   I would love to be able to skip a couple of IETFs a year, and the nomcom eligibility requirement is a major impediment to being able to do that in good conscience.

(And yes, I recognize that if I wound up on nomcom, attendance during that period would not be optional.)
