I've been noticing, over the last 3 or 4 months, that many of our SIGs
are no longer in the habit of holding their (bi-)weekly meetings on IRC.
I don't know why this is happening - perhaps they're having their
discussions elsewhere, or perhaps there's nothing to discuss.

However, I want to remind you that these meetings are a window into your
work for the larger community. Your meeting minutes are public, and
useful for people who are not directly involved in the SIG but who want
to know what's happening. Even a 5-minute status checkin is valuable to
our users.
For the NFV SIG, mostly it is lonely and no-one joins so I use the meeting time to type in status info.

Although the meetings are scheduled regularly I don't hold every one but try to do the meeting
at least once a month.

I would point you to the excellent example of this from the CBS/Infra
weekly meeting, the transcript of which you can see here:

https://www.centos.org/minutes/2019/February/centos-devel.2019-02-18-14.02.log.html

Note that there's only one meeting participant, but the meeting is held
to offer the opportunity for discussion should anyone need it.

Please do get back in the habit of meeting regularly.
