I've asked to do so a few times in the IETF,
but I've been allowed to put myself "virtually" in
line for the mike, when I'm taking notes for a
working group, so I can keep typing.
Then all I have to do is figure out what *I* said later...

In any of the WG meetings I have attended in the last 10
years, it would
not have been hard to find a person in the room who was not
participating
in the discussion. In fact, 95-99% of the people in the room were
non-participants and were therefore potential note takers.
