On the topic of badge-sensing at the mic, I seem to recall that we had this
working at an IETF sometime back in the RAI working groups. It was maybe 4 or 5
years ago and I think it may have been some student(s) under Henning
Schulzrinne at Columbia... but I am not sure about that. I remember that when
you went to the mic you put your badge up to this sensor and your name appeared
in the jabber room. We used it in several of the RAI sessions at that IETF.
Unfortunately I don't remember how well it worked or why it wasn't continued.
There may be someone out there who can provide some insight. (And if it was
Henning's students we can just drop him a note.)

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:
