I just filled in the form.
The main potential issue I would have with such a meeting
is whether or not we'd have a normal meeting network
with normal Internet access.
It was the issue of Internet access that first occurred to me.
The agreement talks of things
"which are within the control of the Client"
where the Client is the Host of the meeting and so presumably
providing Internet access and all that goes with it, including,
presumably, what is needed in the way of monitoring to
ensure that the Client is able to fulfil their obligations.

If there's anything that'd
be different about the meeting network and/or access to the
Internet, then I think the IAOC MUST bring that to the
community before making any decision. If there's to be nothing
different, then I think the IAOC would be wise to be
crystal-clear about that.
Absent that information, I don't think that the survey is
useful and it shouldn't be used as the basis for a positive
decision.
The reason I think this is important is that we can only
speculate about reactions to microphone statements, but
we can know in advance about any networking restrictions.
If we cannot access the Internet as usual then I would be
against such a meeting since it would mean participants
could not do their work as usual.
I have yet to see a clear statement on the above. If this
is not yet resolved, that would also be useful to know,
Stephen.
