Re: Chairs: Helping out remote participants

2008-07-28 05:15:42
One other request from someone else who is also remote for this meeting:

- Can chairs (or others) please ask those going to microphones to raise questions to *please* state their names as they start to speak?

Some people are frequent commenters and their voices are well-known... but others are not. It's helpful to remote folks to know who is talking.

Thanks,
Dan

P.S. And +1 to Philip's other points.

Just a quick note on what chairs could do to help out remote participants, from someone who is trying to participate remotely for the first time this week.

In order of priority (most important first):

1) Ensure all meeting materials are uploaded before the session begins. Ideally, the various presentations would be listed (on the meeting materials page) in the same order as they appear in the agenda, but otherwise they should have good names so the correct presentation can be easily found. [Following a presentation without seeing the slides can be VERY difficult.]

2) Ensure everyone uses a microphone.

3) Ensure someone monitors the jabber chat room. If you cannot find a scribe, at least have someone watching for questions, especially simple questions like "what slide are we on now" or "who is that at the mic?".

4) Ensure all presentations have slide numbers and have the jabber person type in slide changes. (It is often hard to tell from just audio clues).


Thanks!
