Hi,
Why couldn't remote participants register to the meeting like all other participants?
Remote participation would of course still be free, but it would allow remote participants to subscribe to the attendee list in the same way as other participants.
In addition, it would provide better knowledge to IETF about the number of remote participants, where they are physically located (which might be useful input when planning future meeting locations) etc.
Regards,
Christer

Ahem. Either remote participants are allowed to post, or they need
a list of their own. I would envisage a fair amount of chatter about
specific remote-participation issues, like "this new codec isn't
working for me, is it OK for anyone else using <browser version> on
<operating system version>?"
