Re: [rtcweb] Agenda for RTCWeb Interim May 19-20, 2014

[Mary Barnes <[e-mail]>]

It certainly would have been nice to know when the meeting was being
organized that there were no plans for remote participation nor recording.
That might have impacted people's decisions to not travel to the meeting.
 At this stage, it's way too late to book travel - airfare is $1000-1300 RT
from DFW to DCA.

I fully understand the logistical issues and it is a hassle to go to
meeting locations early and spend 1/2-1 day setting up a room with A/V guys
to ensure that you can get a reasonable experience for remote participants.
 I personally think it's manageable for chairs if you can get an extra
microphone and ensure people speak into the microphone.  I would imagine
it's not possible to have a meeting with 50 people without a microphone in
the room.

So, I guess, I may have gained 3 extra days in my schedule and I would hope
in this situation that there are meticulous notes with regards to consensus
points, issue resolution, action items, etc.  And, of course, there should
be an understanding that while consensus may have been obtained in the
meeting room, it's not reasonable to expect that no one else has input on
the topic.

Thanks,
Mary.
