The tech is there, why not use it? Maybe they want the power to control things and then fall behind the "only 7 showed up" argument.

Sure apathy is present, but I contend less of it would be around if we had more of an opportunity to participate in the meetings from anywhere in the world, which is how much some categories are scattered.
