[802SEC] Mixed Mode 802 Session Best Practices

Dear 802 EC Members,

We have been kicking around the concept of 'hybrid meetings' for a while now.  I would like to re-brand them as 'mixed mode sessions'.

In order to open the discussion up to a wider group, George and I thought it would be good to share a draft a "Best Practices for Mixed Mode IEEE 802 LMSC Sessions" document among the EC for wider discussion and refinement.  My objective for the The Best Practices document will at least get the EC on the same page and remove ambiguities or potential misinterpretations when we discuss Mixed Mode Session.

My attempt at an initial draft is at https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/21/ec-21-0157-00-00EC-best-practices-for-mixed-mode-ieee-802-lmsc-sessions.docx.  I know it is incomplete and missing a lot of detail -- please feel free to add what is missing or correct my mistakes.  

I will allocate time during the opening EC meeting to briefly discuss this topic, with the intent of setting aside 60-90 minutes during the July plenary for a suitable day/time to dive into the details.  I know there will be a lot of debate and discussion, let's try to get to consensus on what a fair and equitable Mixed Mode Session is.  Then we can determine if any policy changes need to be made.

Regards,

--Paul 

p.s., the IEEE Computer Society has tried to assist on this topic with https://www.computer.org/conferences/organize-a-conference/organizer-resources/hybrid-conference-options.  I know we're not even close to the structure of a conference, but perhaps some of the material may be useful in getting us to think more deeply on the subject, like
