For local participants this could be in the form of a red or green light at their microphone. The W3C does much of this already with IRC bots, e.g.: http://www.w3.org/2001/12/zakim-irc-bot.html (also can pick a scribe, track an agenda, etc.) > 7) Develop a control panel managed by chairs or their proxies that consolidate and sequence requests and log support and nonsupport indications and the granting of requests.
