Or, at least organize it as a meeting of spacious hubs, time-synchronized
and optimized, one or two hubs in Europe, one or two in the Americas, one
or two in Asia, Australia and Africa? Still it doesn't make as much sense
as one face to face meeting where everyone comes together, there are local
movement problems to be factored in, and we this may also carry the risk of
a slight increase in the traces of geopolitics that might already exist...
Dropping this suggestion nevertheless.
