[ripe-list] Call for input on all virtual RIPE 81

Hans, all,

congratulations to the RIPE NCC and all involved in the RIPE community 
on hosting RIPE 80 virtually. It seemed like a success overall and 
certainly to me.

I think the prudent decision for any meeting for the rest of 2020 is to 
just bite the bullet, remove the doubt and go virtual again. Then 
reassess for 2021.

Lastly, with all due respect to Niall and no actual knowledge of Zoom's 
network: I imagine Zoom is undergoing unprecedented hockey-stick growth 
after seemingly becoming the defacto virtual communications platform in 
our new Covid-19 world. Speaking with my network engineer hat on, please 
don't badger them right now with "you must support IPv6". Let's put it 
on the list for 2021, they have enough on their plates right now. And I 
say this as a long-time strong and vocal IPv6 advocate.

  - Barry
