That's a really interesting idea, and Larry also points out that it's not
clear that any of the organizations in his list of communities can do this
without help from at least some of the others.

This was the one thing I wish we'd done differently after IETF 95/Zika - we
started Manycouches thinking about an in-person meeting with emergency
cancellations by many participants, like the one we'd just dodged, but
preplanned entirely-virtual meetings also crept into scope, and what we
ended up with for IETF 107 was an emergency entirely-virtual meeting - the
worst of all combinations.

I hope we continue planning for all of these, but not at the same time,
with the same people, in the same forum. The skill sets required overlap,
but they aren't the same.

IMO, of course.
