## What Jamie wrote

This **reverse meeting** concept is an interesting one. It could just be a different way o drive consensus that works well in any environment. I will say that the reduced friction of meetings in a Zoom-based world is noticeable. I was observing with someone the other day that I think meetings have gotten bigger, in part because you can add people to the meetings and you don't need to find a new meeting room. You don't hit capacity limits. And with meeting rooms being infinite, there is no limitation to quantity and size.
