I definitely won't go to Japan. Not only because it is rather far it is also
because there is the RDA meeting in Amsterdam at the same time where I hope to
do some HDF5 business.

I guess it not really a question how open we are upon this. As a matter of fact
in particular our US colleagues have serious problems to get their traveling
funded. And I do not have the impression that this situation will change soon. 

However, besides the technical issues, having virtual NIAC meetings would have
an additional benefit: we could meet more often and thus get things done
quicker as it is currently the case.

Yes - we definitely need to find a working technical solution ;)
