As a person who participates in a lot of IETF working groups, and also in other SDOs, regular virtual interim meetings are a pain.  Regular virtual interim meetings in the sweet spot that people like for international calls makes everything collide.  Having interims when there is actually a need for discussion on a specific topic makes good sense.  But interim meetings at a "certain tempo".  Please, no.

I concur. The point of plenary meetings is, in part, to justify the travel expense, and the point of meetings at all is to enable people to talk with each other face to face. Regular face to face interims would mean that many people would simply not find the expense justified, and virtual interims prevent the face to face conversations that need to be had.
