There is no prescribed length. A virtual meeting would benefit by being 
shorter, but the only way we can make that work is if the time-consuming 
development of papers by J3 subgroups happens mostly before the meeting 
so that the virtual meeting can focus on voting and adjustments to specs 
and syntax.

We have a fair bit left to do on 202X - that is the top priority. If we 
can make significant progress on full papers (specs/syntax/edits) for 
the remaining work list items, we will still be on track for publication 
in 2022.  The next priority is to establish a path forward on generics, 
as WG5 already approved that for 202Y as a condition of it being removed 
from 202X. Tom Clune heads the Generics subgroup and I'd expect that 
he'd welcome participation in that work. This is all J3 work.
> An alternative solution is to just held the J3 (virtual) meeting, but invite all WG5 members to participate.
Aye, there's the rub. If WG5 doesn't also hold a virtual meeting joint 
with J3, non-J3 members aren't allowed to participate in the the meeting 
per INCITS rules. But I think non-J3 WG5 can still help with paper 
development online, free from time zone constraints. I think this is the 
way forward.
