As a small matter it would mean that the chair does not have to keep track of who is at which microphone so they are fairly servicing the sequence. More significantly, of course, it would mean that local and remote get equal treatment. But the added very significant benefit will be an accurate record of the names of who spoke. We currently rely on the speaker to say their name and many/most folk mumble it incoherently. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
