John,
I was thinking about whiteboards too. I'll check with the secretariat
if smth like this would be possible.
Thanks.
There are, of course, a number of companies which make products for
group interaction. Some that I like (and I have no connection with these) are
eLLuminate, which makes a nice java based platform for sharing information on a
desktop
(we tested this a while back on Windows, OS X and Linux with good results)
and Smart Technologies (which makes a set of really cool smart whiteboards).
Of course, there is a learning curve for anything, and none of this is free.
Even if we used
VRVS, which we could probably get from CalTech for free, IMHO it would be
a full time job for someone to get and keep all of this running for every WG at
an IETF meeting.
It might be time to revist some of these tools for interactive collaboration.
Smart is a
Canadian company; maybe we should get them as a sponosor for IETF 64.

Margaret, Dave, et al-
Based on the discussion started in the IESG, one thing we are
going to try to do in Paris is have a couple of smaller rooms
with a different chair setup--herringbone instead of the
theater style, a couple more radio microphones, and
appropriate-size (smaller than huge) projector screens.
I'm working with the secretariat on this.
Alex,
Given other discussions on this list, might I suggest that those
rooms also be equipped, if possible, with some mechanism by
which interactions within the group/meeting can easily be
recorded: Any of overhead projectors with foils and markers,
flip charts with markers, or whiteboards would all do the job
and all have been mentioned. As others have pointed out, these
things can, in theory, all be done in powerpoint, but I suggest
that few of us are efficient enough with it to be able to do
pictures and serious mark-up in real time (independent of
whether we can transcribe text or not).
Or, if that isn't feasible for Paris, could it be considered for
Vancouver?
thanks,
john
