Which is why I have some reservations about policy making forums whose 
mantra is "anyone can join the mailing list". And why I spend a lot of 
my time trying to get people to participate *in person*, and wherever 
possible turn up in person myself.

In other words, I don't think teleworking is the answer to everything. 
Something which can often be taken as heresy in an industry which 
facilitates that very teleworking.

Just so there's no confusion, teleworking can be a very good way to 
enable small groups of people who are already very familiar with each 
other and remote participation (as an observer) is better than nothing, 
but we are very long way from remote public *input* to these various 
forums being any more than lip service.
