well I do agree that meeting in person is more effective than over videoconferencing. I've done several video conferences and it just feels like you're always missing something. Meeting face to face is better because that's the way humans interact. But I really hope that from now on our country and others learn to manage these things better. There is no way in this day and age that we as a nation can justify spending over a billion dollars on a 3 day event when we're in deficit and that money could have been used for health or education. The UN has a nice big building in New York, hold it there!
