you are replying to someone who goes to the meetings and hides in the
noc to avoid the social scene etc. i go out to the very few wgs where i
have concerns; though have taken to just listening to the audio and
going to the wg if i really need to say something. it's a form of
self-regulation.
real, N way (for N>1) [0], remote participation would do me just fine.

putting my money where my mouth is ...
for personal and somewhat superstitious reasons, i do not go to meetings
in the southeastern united states. so for atlanta, i would like
o to be able to see and hear any of the wg/bof meetings and plenaries
o when there are slides or movies, i want to be able to see them or
even pull a pdf to view locally
o i would like semi-pro video where i can see the speaker, floor
speaker, etc. merit used to do a quite good job of this for nanog
o i would like to be able to make a presentation, with my face visible
and show slides and hear and answer questions from the floor and
other remote participants
o i would like to be able to speak at the virtual floor mic and, if
possible, have my face shown to the meeting room and to other remote
folk
i do not want to constrain or over-specify how this works. i.e. how the
speaking stone is handed around, ... it's gonna be hard enough to do
without requiring 42 kinky sub-features and have know-it-all amateurs
micro-specifying it.
as much as possible the protocols and the software at the remote end
should be non-proprietary. and it must run on unix, mac, linux, and
optionally ms-windows. :)
