"both all meetings by telephone and all physical meetings" and
"neither meetings by telephone nor physical meetings" is what
I had in mind.  The wording choices should not be interrelated;
I was just saving time.  Two other possibilities could be added
(phone but not physical, physical but not phone).

Absolutely.  We should make a list.  The other thing that comes
to mind is setting the schedule of teleconferences, as we've done.
