| Thanks for this note. Let me put on my “co-chair RSSAC” hat and get your opinion?
ICANN has been going through the same issues with virtual meetings that IETF has.. ICANN 67, 68, and 69 - at least - are virtual, and even after that we expect an increased amount of ICANN attendance to be remote. Historically, that has been listen-only, and we are thinking we may have to rethink our remote access tools. I copy David Olive as he and his group are important in that discussion.
ICANN has been using zoom and its “hand raise” feature. What that has meant is that the chair of a discussion, or his/her deputy, watches the “participants” pane, and invites remote commentary from folks who “raise their hand”.. It can also be used as a voting tool - “everyone who <takes a stated position>, raise your hand” - allowing the deputy to count.
That is a little different than the IETF “hum”, which is intentionally inexact - a “sense of the room”. Who in the IETF would you recommend that I encourage David to discuss requirements and tools with? Sent from my iPad On Jul 9, 2020, at 11:01 AM, Martin Duke <martin.h.duke@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
The IESG and IETF LLC are working with the Meetecho team to add the capability to conduct “virtual hums” in fully remote meetings. A software model model that shows the output for given numbers of people humming is available for experimentation [TEST_SITE].
Working Group chairs seeking “a sense of the room” are invited to use this tool to help obtain it. As always, consensus ultimately requires confirmation on the email list.
The current implementation is based on a specification the IESG developed [I-D.duke]. Briefly, the workflow is as follows: A chair begins the hum in meetecho Participants have 20 seconds to hum loudly, softly, or not all At the conclusion of the hum, Meetecho will report the approximate loudness of the hum, on the following increasing scale: niente, pianissimo, piano, forte, fortissimo.
As there is no IETF consensus that offline hums have specific flaws, the current specification seeks to reproduce the offline version as faithfully as possible. The SHMOO working group [SHMOO] might reach consensus on a different set of requirements in the future, and update or replace this document.
The community will have an opportunity to try out this tool at participant [PARTICIPANTS] and session chair [CHAIRS] training sessions beginning 15 July. Feedback is welcome on the manycouches mailing list. In particular, practical operational issues (e.g. bug reports, usability concerns, security weaknesses) and strong, unambiguous consensus for feature changes might be actionable prior to IETF 108. More contentious philosophical concerns are best left for long-term consideration by SHMOO.
