I may have misunderstood the discussion to this point, but I thought what
was being discussed was the idea that IFF you were planning to give a
powerpoint presentation (and, not coincidentally, give a verbal presentation
that makes no sense without slides for context), you have to hand over the
slides first, so that remote participants had a prayer of actually
participating remotely.
I like that suggestion. I agree with Geoff that requiring powerpoint in
order to occupy WG meeting space and time is not a good thing.

I appreciate that powerpoint does enable complex concepts to be conveyed
with some ease, and that it (and its functional equivalants) is in heavy
use these days, but I would be very worried if we get to a state that
Jordi appears to be advocating where a) powerpoint is a mandatory
precondition for presenting at a WG meeting and b) you must present
according to a previously deposited and circulated powerpoint script. We
all do our best in terms of priorities, schedules and network stability to
get this material up prior to a WG session, and sometimes it all works,
and sometimes, despite our best of intentions, it does not.
