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 :-) )
