your input is highly appreciated.
The RIPE meeting is usually quite good for remote-attendance options, but since everyone was remote for '80, the setup was *excellent*. Thank you for that. It was great to be able to relay questions through the chairs into sessions but I would love to see the questioner and also encourage conversation after some of the presentations. Please consider a setup to allow a questioner to ask the question themselves via video link as well as retaining the relay option? I'd be happy to participate in a community test of such a system. We must also be slightly aware that even if it is possible for '81 to have a host location and some physically present people, it will not be possible for delegates in some territories to attend because of local viral control measures. The same might be true for '82, and '83 and so on, though hopefully less. Please consider what a hybrid format with a lot of people in one place and a lot of people remote could be like. Again the RIPE NCC ops and meeting teams, and also the RIPE WG collective/PC all demonstrated the gold standard in what a community meeting looks like during '80 - thanks to them. Andy
