It helps to have a good approximation of what later ends up in the minutes on jabber. As you say the audio was sometimes not good: Not loud enough to hear anything while pressing my ear to the speaker, a position where I can't see the jabber room ;-) On another day there were two intersting sessions at the same time - actually more, but I tried two, one with jabber + audio, the other only jabber. A "reduced bandwidth" version of the audio could in fact help, but good scribes - again thanks to those who volunteered, and to folks channeling remote remarks - are more important. All this doesn't prevent folks from using jabber as an extra channel. Frank _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
