> And IIRC during covid, didn't the IETF do online only meetings? Yes, we did! The IETF pivoted in March 2020 to fully virtual with 701 remote attendees. That continued for 2 years until March 2022 when we started having in-person again – and since that time they have been hybrid (and will continue to be so). The IETF also invested quite a lot in online meeting tools & supporting systems to try to make the remote experience as good as possible.
