Most of them are not used to working that way. They attend physical 
meetings. Remember that the important things happen in the corridors, 
not in the 5% of sessions you've picked somewhat at random to be in the 
room for.

They could attend an online meeting, but it's almost certain that they 
won't have the tools, or the time off their day-job. While the southern 
hemisphere is important, the Bali meeting would be taking place mainly 
while both Europe and North America are asleep.
