Re: Remote Hubs

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

I had a read of those. I think we should encourage particularly
the organic kind of remote hub (a la Christian's draft). I'm
less sure of the benefits of trying for sponsored larger things,
as would seem to be implied by the iicb.org site. (Was that done
for IETF94 too or just 93?) Anyway, thanks for documenting this
and for the folks who're working on having hubs happen.

Two comments:

1. Christian's draft says:

"  3. Notify the IETF about your remote hub if you want it included in
   the public remote IETF WG Hubs list"

I wasn't aware that there's such a list. Seems like a fine thing
but even better if the WG chairs are told about it, say on the
Sunday of IETF week. I think the people in the room would be
interested to know that there are semi-organised sets of folks
remotely participating from places X, Y and Z. (I've no idea
what one might do with that information, but people often figure
out stuff if we let 'em know what's up:-)

2. If people want to use the IETF logo to advertise that you can
turn up somewhere and participate remotely in a session, and if
nobody's trying to make money from the punters, I think we should
allow and encourage such uses of the logo. I'd be happy to help
annoy the trust to try get 'em to write down what's ok there, if
that's not already being worked on by someone. (Or to encourage
people to just use the logo like that and ask for forgiveness
later:-)

Cheers,
S.
