Unless you sleep for 72 hours, decisions are not made while you are sleeping :-) To me, the problem is that a video chat cannot be skimmed quickly without fear of missing something, and a text transcription provided by an attendee might also miss something. So, it is efficient for those who were there, but not for those who weren't, and hard for those who are short on time to catch up, and that might make it seem unfair to someone who wants to participate but has a lot of schedule conflicts with the meeting times. But again, if our former mentors are ok with it, then I will be too. -Alex
