[governance] A couple of thoughts for the MAG discussion

[Mazzone, Giacomo]

Dear Katitza,
I said to Chengatai the problem you have.
He is sending you the link to the transcript page...
There is no skype session active.

I hope this will help.
Besos.
Giacomo

Dear Roland,
I am living testimony to the frustration you speak about - having got up at 4.30 to be ready at 5 for the meeting - I can't find the meeting. :-(
Can anybody help please?

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

In order to manage people's expectations, I think there should be a grading system for remote participation.

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.

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.
