Maybe we should leave the Jabber meeting rooms up all the time, and use them 
for more dynamic discussions.

Well, if we make remote participation too good, we may end up 
with rather empty meeting rooms and a bankrupt IETF ;)
 
What we should do, given the rush of work that happens pre-ID 
cutoff, is maybe look at such technology for interim 
meetings, and have the IETF support some infrastructure to 
help interim meetings run more
effectively, maybe even without a physical meeting venue.   Some WGs
might then run more interim virtual meetings and help 
distribute the workload over the year more smoothly.

You mean like holding a bi-weekly teleconference?

VOIP is getting to the point where this is practical. 

Personally I find jabber (and similar technologies) much more convenient
than voice. I've used that a few times with a small group of people to
discuss and solve technical problems. I feel it allows more interactive
discussions and is also easier non-native English speakers,

I think using the wg jabber rooms we got for regular discussions of
specific issues is a great idea.
