[Chapter-delegates] Fw: vMeet: effort to improve remote IETF participation

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

Dear ISOC Chapter Delegates,

since we are also searching for a similar "holy grail", I encourage 
many ISOC chapters to join this working group.

Kind regards,

Olivier

Subject: vMeet: effort to improve remote IETF participation


> Folks,
>
> After a number of comments from the floor at last Wednesday's IETF 
> plenary, Russ Housely suggested forming an effort to work on 
> "virtual meeting" capabilities, beyond the audio broadcast / jabber 
> participation mode that the IETF current supports.  Some unknown, 
> external force raised my hand, when Russ asked for a volunteer to 
> the lead the effort.

> There is now a mailing list to support discussion of this topic:

>    vMeet at ietf.org
>
>    <https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/vmeet>
>
>
> The purpose of the activity is to:
>
>      Explore, specify and develop improved services for remotely 
> participating in IETF meetings. Look for eventually supporting 
> virtual meetings that have no physical venue. A modest form of a 
> virtual meeting is a small-group conference call, such as regularly 
> conducted by the IESG, IAB and IAOC.

> The state of the art -- and more importantly, the state of the 
> product and service industry -- is quite advanced.  So I view this 
> as an effort in pragmatics.  If there is any software development, 
> it should be limited to scripts.
>
> Please join the list and join the effort to add incrementally better 
> remote participation services for IETF meetings.
