Steve did well to stop the large WGs imposing their needs, mainly
concerns about hotel costs, onto the smaller ones like Fortran and
Cobol.  It seemed to be taken for granted that full remote
participation should be allowed in future but there was no discussion
about sensibly facilitating participants from very different time
zones; it was however mentioned that being away from one's usual work
environment could be beneficial.  But it is not a case of one size
fits all.  There is a huge difference between short administrative
meetings like the SC22 plenary (5 hours' business spread over two days
plus 1.5 hours for the drafting committee) where essentially nothing
new comes up during the meeting, and the long, creative technical
meetings traditionally held by WG5/J3.

As Steve says, Fortran will have to devise a remote method of working
during the emergency but I hope that face-to-face meetings remain the
norm in the long run.
