I've raised this point as well in various chat rooms etc. Having the title of the WG say "meet online only" implies a direction that I don't agree with, and so I haven't participated.

Thanks,
Chris.

The fact is that face-to-face meetings have value - people can get to know each other and set up a social basis for discussion, if nothing else. I can see scaling back - our European colleagues find the summer meeting timing awkward at best. But I don;’t see the temporary effect of having a global pandemic as justification for simply shutting down to mailing lists - which would be the likely effect of failing to meet.
