No offense taken!  That room is set up for remote access & I am confirming with MeetEcho people.  

On Tues, when we did a presentation in that room, there were remote attendees at 8:30am.
Guys, if you are listening, can you chime in?

They are on the meeting Wiki:

https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/doku.php?id=ietf95#remote_hubs

But actually, I am fighting to get them to be on a web page that persists across IETF meetings because a number of the hubs are not just to watch IETF meetings remotely.

Yes, it is a universal idea for all new people wanting to come in.  So, part of mentoring program.  I would like to collaborate with remote hubs as they will have new people also.
