I am formaly asking that if not RIPE 43 then all future meetings will be webcast so that all memebers who want to attend can attend the meeting.
FWIW, HEAnet organised video streaming of the TERENA Networking Conference held in Limerick last June, an event of perhaps roughly the same size and complexity as RIPE. We got a *lot* of positive feedback, and it was especially useful for those who were hit by the concurrent airline strike and sudden news of KPNQwest's demise. However, I can assert that it was quite a lot of work, between preparing the hardware and overseeing each session, to do it properly. I think it would be a very good thing to see RIPE meetings webcast in the same way, but do please be aware that it soaks up more FTEs than is at first apparent. (If anyone at the RIPE NCC would like to talk to our guys about it, please drop me a mail). Dave
