Synchronous communication is nice to have BUT  its not that easy  and  
has limitations :)
What about timezones  ? people have familys , work and commitments, so  
possibly just an time frame
from about an hour per day, but this could be at 4 am your time.

All RFCs for at the IETF are developed thru mailing list and some   
people, like me ,
that are not native english speakers and  cant follow a very  
technical  live discussion so easily,
therefore i  would prefer Asynchronous communication. :)
