Ron,

I think we should try it as an experiment and add a virtual interim before we’re forced to.  I don’t know what the next N-days until travel to YVR hold, but  as of right now I plan to be there.

I think organizing something planned even as a test would be interesting though.

I think it’s also important that WGs use their lists efficiently as well.
