vMeet: effort to improve remote IETF participation

2009-03-31 11:58:11
Folks,

After a number of comments from the floor at last Wednesday's IETF plenary, Russ Housely suggested forming an effort to work on "virtual meeting" capabilities, beyond the audio broadcast / jabber participation mode that the IETF current supports. Some unknown, external force raised my hand, when Russ asked for a volunteer to the lead the effort.


There is now a mailing list to support discussion of this topic:

   vMeet(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org

   <https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/vmeet>


The purpose of the activity is to:

Explore, specify and develop improved services for remotely participating in IETF meetings. Look for eventually supporting virtual meetings that have no physical venue. A modest form of a virtual meeting is a small-group conference call, such as regularly conducted by the IESG, IAB and IAOC.


The state of the art -- and more importantly, the state of the product and service industry -- is quite advanced. So I view this as an effort in pragmatics. If there is any software development, it should be limited to scripts.

Please join the list and join the effort to add incrementally better remote participation services for IETF meetings.
