Re: IETF chair's blog

Hi  Brian,

Exactly. The inter-personal communication toolset we use in the
IETF is quite limited because of some unwritten constraints,
which certainly include:

- very widely available, including free or open source solutions
- operating-system independent
- standardised, non-proprietary
- not unduly plagued by advertising
- preferably, standardised by the IETF itself
- most tools allow time-shifting for worldwide collaboration
- reasonably secure
- do not damage privacy but do not encourage anonymity

I think we have to be very careful going outside that set
of constraints (which is why I'm not a big fan of Webex or for
that matter Meetecho).

Just out of curiosity, can you list which of the above requirements is not met by Meetecho?

Thanks,

Simon
