A virtual Summit of the Americas 2

When I wrote the previous post on using video teleconferencing for presidential meetings, I didn't realize that one was already planned. Oppenheimer reports that the presidents of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile recently held a virtual summit over video teleconference.

That's a great start and more can be done. These don't just have to be private discussions among president. Public events and participation by civil society and the business community are possible as well.
