Not disagreeing.

One extra issue I've run into - in another arena - is that a face-to-face
meeting means everyone is in the same time zone and so can participate in a
full day's meeting. When we replaced our week of face-to-face meetings with
"virtual Lisbon", groups were only getting the two or three hours a day when
both California and Finland are awake; the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and
Australians just had to stay up overnight or miss the calls.
