I'm not in principle opposed to "virtual" interims, but my general feeling
is
that we should be using face-to-face time to cover the most important and
intractable issues. ISTM that those are the ones that I listed in my email.

Accordingly, I don't think it makes sense to have virtual MMUSIC interims
to discuss the important stuff and a F2F RTCWEB interim to discuss the
rest...
