Pretty easy, put the PTG online with a livestream on YouTube/Hangout/whatever platform that will then be saved and could even be watched later on!
It’s just a matter of some hardware and a decent internet bandwidth that’s already available to almost every places where a PTG took place. Problem solved. PS: Even if I second your thoughts about the fact that some can make it to a physical meeting for some reason (And I’m one of them), your email sounds a little bit aggressive.
