Joel,

The volunteers built a model that was sustainable with a modest amount of capital and time. both jabber and and streaming audio.

For which many thanks from many of us, I'm sure. Also, the Secretariat built a tool so that all slides can be uploaded before each session, or even in real time during the session.

Of course, it isn't the same thing as telepresence over dedicated bandwidth, but that's in a different financial league.


IM conversations or debates using text only are difficult, to type the least. Few have the patience needed to wait for others to finish typing before changing the topic. Access to the room microphone remotely would be nice. Perhaps a fee-based vetting might be used to limit access to this expensive resource. Also, those attending would not want to contend with thousands of others queued up on-line to ask their question and then perhaps one follow-up.

Many IETF participants already use Skype. Skype runs on Linux, OSX, and Windows. Skype works through many different firewalls as well. It could be interesting to find whether a phone bridge can be easily controlled by the room moderator is available. The cost may not be too great when using network based voice clients and a soft switch? Is there an open-source alternative?
