That doesn't require scribing as it used to be. It's just someone (yes, we can call them scribes, but maybe the WG chairs can do this themselves) to mediate mic access. > > except perhaps when there are hard-of-hearing participants > > in the room. > > Accessibility is a thing. :-) Which is why I called it out :) Now, if we want to support hard-of-hearing participants even when they are not known to be in the room -- well, that's kinda like close- captioning a video recording of the meeting, and that's the sort of thing you want to pay for rather than rely on volunteers. I for one would love to see quality close-captioning of video recordings of IETF meetings, though it's almost certainly cost prohibitive. Nico --
