For those, who would like to use SIP for text conferencing,
experimental operation of a SIP2Jabber gateway has been set up at
iptel.org. See http://www.iptel.org/ietf55/ for guidelines how
to join the IETF chat rooms.
Better set your expectations low -- the gateway has not been tested
with bigger user populations until now.

Remote Access for the 55th IETF meeting in Atlanta:
Text Conferencing
At each IETF meeting, two of the working group meeting rooms are equipped
for video multicast and remote participation. That is, for every IETF
meeting slot, two of the working groups can see and hear the
meeting. For the 55th IETF, in *addition* to the usual network A/V, text
conferencing will be provided for every working group that meets.
All of the conference rooms are hosted on
conference.ietf.jabber.com
and each is named using the official IETF abbreviation found in the
agenda (e.g., "apparea", "dhc", "forces", and so on -- for all the
examples that follow, we'll use "foobar" as the abbreviation).
Each conference room also has a 'bot which records everything that gets
sent:

Enjoy!
