I don't think that the http audio stream qualifies, since we're
able to use the audio client of our own choosing. I haven't used
either webex or meetecho because webex turns on your video camera
and doesn't have an option to turn it off (I understand that this
is fixed in the most recent release) and meetecho because I don't
know who those guys are and I'm not really interested in downloading
and running software from an unknown source, particularly when
there are more open options available. You'll note that we don't
require people to use a particular client to use the Jabber rooms,
either. While meetecho may or may not be using standard protocols
(they say they are), they require their own client. That's kind
of weird for a body whose reason for existing revolves largely
around interoperability.
I've probably been involved in or responsible for more dumb remote
participation experiments at the ietf than anyone else still regularly
attending. I'm willing to grant for the sake of experimentation a fair
amount of forbearance for things I don't like and or would never use
myself. I haven't come to any such conclusion regarding meetecho.
I think there's room under to tent to provide a more comprehensive tool
than the very basic one I concluded a couple years ago had the widest
availability, and the least production overhead.
