One of the people 'at' the MAG meeting<br>
this morning was i, rushing off to lobby -
electronically -<br>
as soon as the meeting was finished. So I would incline
to the idea that<br>
remote participation is fast losing its 'second class'
status, and would<br>
push hard for the 'right' that remote participants
should NEVER be treated<br>
as second class, although they often are now.<br>

In order to manage people's expectations, I think there
should be a grading system for remote participation.<br>
<br>
For example, is there a live audio feed, a live video feed,
transcriptions live or transcriptions archived. Is there an
archive of the webcast. Can remote participants have
questions read out, or can they speak to the meeting from
their remote location. Is there a facility for chat between
remote participants.<br>
<br>
I'm not suggesting that all of these options have to be
available for every meeting, but when there's an expectation
of being able to participate (or indeed as might be the case
for today's MAG meeting, to remotely observe, which is
slightly different) and it turns out the facility is very
limited, it can be frustrating.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
