So is what you are saying, that those who do not have the money
like ALAC will meet online, whilst those who do, for example the
GDD Summit, will meet face to face? So we've pretty much signed
ALAC out having any significant involvement on important topics?
Of course I am being provocative here, but we have to be careful
about what we wish: if we wish less meetings, that will mean there
will probably never be any further meetings outside of North
America and Europe since the remaining meetings will be attended
by thousands and thousands of people. The inter-meeting "action"
(6 months is a long time) will take place in other meetings where
we are not invited. IMHO we have to fight to keep that right to be
a *all* meetings, not just the big ones. And we also have to fight
to keep some meetings taking place in developing economies, or
have given up on billions of citizens in these countries? (again I
am being provocative :-) ) <br>
Kindest regards,<br>
