That is not what I was saying, in fact, a meeting in the current
virtual worlds only allows to exchange typed text and with some
effort from everyone perhaps voice, which is not enough.

I was just thinking that there should be (by now) an application
that one could download from the IETF website, say, which would run
on windows, Mac and linux that would allow "everything needed"
(video conferencing, voice, whiteboard, agenda, exchanging documents,
multiple groups/channels at the same time). Clearly such an application
does not exist, so ... it's good that some people are going to meet,
and bad that many won't be able to be there.
