I saw this in one of the sessions I attended at IETF-92.   I was disappointed 
to learn that it wasn’t ubiquitous when I attended IETF-93 remotely.   Some of 
the jabber scribes in the meetings I attended did a good job, but (a) I felt 
like a real burden to them and (b) there is no opportunity for dialog with the 
jabber scribe channeling you, because by the time you’ve typed a clarification, 
they’ve sat down, for the most part.   Kudos to Andrew Sullivan for doing a 
fantastic job as jabber scribe in dhc, though—thanks to him that is the one 
working group where I really felt like I had a chance to participate as if I 
were present.   But it was kind of a PITA for him, and we have the technology 
to let remote people speak, so why not use it?
