Paul,
As has been pointed out, this is a little more complicated than just
the choice of client, in particular multicast is not widely available
to the "average" Internet user.
But I still find it ironic that I can watch a webcast from an ICANN
meeting but I am unable to do the same for an IETF meeting (until after
the fact). That is but one example.

well, actually, that's not what i said at all.
Next thing you'll be telling me PDF is a bad thing.
and no, that won't be the next thing i'll tell you.
If you want the IETF to be a place where more people can participate
you need to ditch some of this religion.
if there were no robust open alternatives i'd be the first to say
"issue an rfp."
