Dear colleagues, This is just an anecdote, but today I got to a room that was too crowded (I was late because of another obligation). Unwilling to crawl over people, since I was the late one, I went back into the hall. In previous meetings I used meetecho to follow along in this case, but since I hadn't registered it was a little troublesome. I just used the audio, and it's no big deal, but it might be a useful illustration of one bit of friction that comes because of the remote registration thing (unless everyone registered on-site automatically gets a remote registration too, maybe conveniently printed on the badge or something). Note that I am _not_ saying this proves anything about whether registration is a good or bad idea or whatever. I only mention it as another anecdote (and of course, in one sense the plural of "anecdote" is too "data"). Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
