G’day all
It has been four weeks since the last remote-only meeting of the IEEE 802 Future meeting ad hoc. So far we have heard two perspectives on what has worked well and not so well in remote-only meetings over the last two years from:
- George Zimmerman: see ec-21-0237-00
- Ben Rolfe: see ec-21-0238-00 (I have included some of Ben’s notes below)
There has also been a small amount of e-mail discussion, questioning the efficacy of holding remote-only meetings for various TG and WGs in a short block
Would anyone else like to share their perspectives … before I start driving the group towards conclusions?
The request for perspectives is based on the following questions:
- What aspects of remote operation have worked during COVID?
- Highlight real examples
- Identify why remote operation was successful in these cases
- What aspects of remote operation have NOT worked during COVID?
- Highlight real examples
- Identify why remote operation was NOT successful in these cases
- What could be done to turn any failures into successes?
- Describe some real turnaround examples (if any)
- … or hypothesise about how this could be done
If we get a volunteer, I will suggest another remote-only call this year

Ben Rolfe’s notes from the session he led on 27 Oct 2021
How can we make meetings more efficient?
· Streamline the meeting preamble: develop a concise and consistent way of presenting
o Right now various groups do it differently and it can take a significant time
o Most participants have seen it many times already
o Could ask people to review the slides before the meeting (maybe on calendar entry)
o Need SA input on how abbreviated we can get
· Reduce meeting density during sessions (ie number of meetings running in parallel)
o More flexible for remote meetings more than in-person or hybrid
o Less overlap can improve cross-WG participation
o Not practical for in-person meetings
o Some overlap unavoidable - a month long virtual session doesn’t work
o Overlapping some things is more OK than other things
Observations on in person vs remote:
· Initial impressions are important in building working relationship
· The importance may vary based on activity
· Remote makes this more difficult
· Seen this slowing things down in 2020-21
Observations on the “IETF Experience”
· Different “normal” than 802
· But similar impacts noted:
o Easier to continue progress on existing projects, mature projects
o New work slowed
Question about remote only (whether temporary or as an alternative long term):
· Need a process for improved socialization
· Could a virtual social be useful?
o Been tried in other forums
o Results mixed
o Comment that (technical conference) it didn’t’ work
