Anyway, I think it important to add to the categories of participants those who *are* local participants, but who are not in the room where the meeting is taking place. A number of people attempt to follow multiple parallel meetings using jabber and/or headphones. For them, speaking participation usually requires someone to channel over jabber, or a sprint between rooms. Such participants, like remote participants, would benefit from having the projector streamed as well as audio. > In Section 2: > > "Bar BoFs at regular IETF meetings are not listed above > because they mostly happen in places where remote participation can't > be scheduled." > > Aren't Bar BoFs informal? There are also BoFs and "side-meetings" > (draft-eggert-successful-bar-bof-06). Yes. Please do not make *any* provisions for remote participation at side meetings. If the organisers want to arrange that sort of thing they can put their mobile phone on the bar! > In Section 3.3: > > "This method of participation often works adequately, but there are > many places where it fails." > > The problem is the audio delay.

I have found that the audio delay builds. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the meeting catches you up. > In Section 4.1.2: > > "Remote attendees who are speaking over the > audio must be visible to the local attendees." > > That's not a good idea if the remote participant is many time zones away. :-) It is also not a requirement and may be impractical on low b/w links. Should I send a short video of me typing this email? Cheers, Adrian _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
