Parish Council timely story - and some implications

[Peter Wild]

Parish Councillors

There are benefits from online for business operations generally, not just
retail.

During lockdown, I have found that 2D online generally entails
significantly greater efficiency and amenity compared with 3D online. Both
efficiency and amenity gains flow from being able to choose location,
usually one's home, with reduced transport time and greater personal
comfort.

In practice, 2D also leads to more efficient operations. Our last Parish
Council demonstrated this through a productive discussion on a range of
detailed issues, finishing at 8.45 pm without leaving any business
unfinished.

Over the past couple of months, I have identified a handful of activities
where I find 3D to be necessary:

   - Real presence Eucharist
   - Life performance
   - Table fellowship
   - Very cosy tete-a-tetes
   - Travel
   - Physical contact

Parish Council monthly meetings are primarily business meetings and so are
none of these and best undertaken in 2D.
