Re: Anotherj RFP without IETF community input

Dear sm,

just for the sake of completeness, I have to say that the following statement is not 100% correct:


The RFP mentions bidirectional audio and video. As John has attempted to chair a working group remotely, he might be aware that real-time can mean more than 10 seconds between the time an event occurs and when it is registered at the remote end.

I am quite confident that none of the tools you mention entails such a long delay. You are probably talking about the mp3 audio feed, which, as far as I know, has never been meant to represent a real-time, bidirectional means of interaction (and which, btw, proves really helpful when you want to access high-quality recordings after the meeting). I can state for sure that we have used Meetecho for remote presentations in Hiroshima, in the mediactrl WG meeting: interaction happens in real-time.

Cheers,

Simon
