Hi Paul,
interesting pointer, thanks! You might all want to have a look at the
UMPIRE experiment proposed by Meetecho starting from IETF83:
http://ietf83.conf.meetecho.com/index.php/UMPIRE_Project
The idea is definitely in-line with what you envisage. With the
UMPIRE, you have an integrated means for moderating both local and
remote participants in a seamless fashion. We would be glad to propose
the experiment once more at the upcoming IETF in Vancouver.
Cheers,
Simon
Quoting Paul Aitken <paitken(_at_)cisco(_dot_)com>:
I've remotely participated in several IETFs.
I find that the biggest problem with remote attendance is the lack
of visual cues. I've come to realise just how important these are in
a meeting.
-are people paying attention, are they interested / confused /
distracted / bored?
Also there's no way for local attendees (in the WG room) to know
that remote attendees are "at the mic" and whose turn it is to speak.
There's been some discussion on the "87attendees" mailer about badge
sensing at the mic - whether QR codes, NFC, or RFID. This could help
remote attendees too.
eg, see what they did with NFC + mic here:
