I will observe that my support for having interims was conditioned on improving the remote participation experience[1]. I think we did not hit the bar on Monday. In the absence of a concrete plan to make further progress, I feel I must withdraw my support for having interims. Knowing one voice in opposition may not change the consensus call for having interims, I'm still going to try to make some constructive suggestions. > 1) late start/technology fail with the webex (probably webex > operations failures more than anything - my fault) I heard grumbling in the room in Reston re: having taken the trouble to travel there only to be faced with a seriously delayed WG meeting. There was talk of wandering off to another location to "get work done". We may need to deeply consider the plan for what happens if we fail at making the tech work in the future. > 2) audio issues (occasionally the webex audio would cut out) I believe some people were using the WebEx "integrated" audio, and the source for that in Reston was not the speakerphone but was instead a single laptop's built-in microphone. That audio was bad and, as you report, would frequently just stop entirely. As best as I could tell, the integrated audio and PSTN call were not connected, and I'm not sure that anyone on the integrated channel could talk back to the room. The PSTN audio outbound from Reston was decent, though not as good as I was hoping for. > 3) local dial-in for webex-call for non-US participants I don't recall seeing a toll-free number for the US. Such would be helpful in the future. I found Sandy's live notes to be very helpful. They would have been better if I could have paged back through them on my own schedule and if they hadn't kept trying to take control of my screen. Jabber worked fine. For those in the room, I think having tables/desks would be more comfortable -- I don't like having my "laptop" on my lap for the duration of a normal WG meeting, and doing that for eight hours is too much. As for future suggestions re: remote participation, I refer back to my note of 27 March: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sidr/current/msg04288.html I continue to believe that advance testing, delegation of the tech issues, and providing one microphone per person will help improve the experience. There was a suggestion on Monday to use multiple jabber rooms: one with the (live) notes, and one for discussion/questions/etc. Assuming we don't find a better shared note-taking tool, I'm fine with trying that. Video seems like it might help with integrating the remote folks, though I have little experience doing video with large numbers of remote participants. -- Sam [1] http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sidr/current/msg04268.html
