Hi,
Why couldn't remote participants register to the meeting like all other
participants?
Remote participation would of course still be free, but it would allow remote
participants to subscribe to the attendee list in the same way as other
participants.
In addition, it would provide better knowledge to IETF about the number of
remote participants, where they are physically located (which might be useful
input when planning future meeting locations) etc.
Regards,
Christer

It can be open to everyone to subscribe to, since anyone can see the
archives, HOWEVER I recommend that only registered participants be
allowed to post.
Ahem. Either remote participants are allowed to post, or they need
a list of their own. I would envisage a fair amount of chatter about
specific remote-participation issues, like "this new codec isn't
working for me, is it OK for anyone else using <browser version> on
<operating system version>?"
