Well, no... It's rare that a single jabber scribe accomplishes this well during an entire session. I really don't want to badmouth any individuals, but it's quite common that MIC requests don't get serviced until the topic has changed. > We need to find a way to make it work with remote audio input...

We have that -- and it works pretty well. Folks that want to discuss a point stand near the microphone, and go back and forth until the Chair recognizes someone else. That same principle _worked_ with remote participants' video staying on-screen. -- John Leslie <john@xxxxxxx>
