Jason,

Seem to me that remote participation is a meeting service just like registration, blue sheets, food, and venues.   The fact that is is provided over the network or the people doing it sit in the NOC is a detail.  

Is this group also looking at evaluating how the IETF does remote participation?  

Bob

Meetecho is an integral part of the NOC as they also record all of the working groups, plenary and related official IETF sessions.  There is a lot that goes into remote participation support including managing the remote queue to raise hands and inject video and audio into the room.  They also monitor the integrated Jabber room.  They work with the NOC as a team.

Even if we were to find a different way provide a network at IETF meetings (for example, use the hotel network), we would still need to provide these meeting services.  It’s not a NOC expense.

This isn’t necessarily to suggest a need to make cuts – so please do **NOT** interpret it in that way! Rather, it is to give a sense of what the costs really are for accommodating our requirements; our direct costs. The indirect costs may be thought of as venues that cannot accommodate our requirements (so Alexa may have some sense of that in advance of the BoF).
