If the F2F would enable smoother operation of this group, it might be worth it. However, you all had a chance for a F2F just a couple of months ago--and I don't know that we all felt a new sense of purpose and enablement from the meeting. Regardless, I of course can't attend, can't afford such a trip. And that leads to another issue: these meetings end up being the same people, those who have the bucks, or whose companies have the bucks. The same group of people establish a sense of familiarity, which may not necessarily be beneficial to all members of the group.
