Re: [alac] A Public Meeting in Advance of Mar del Plata / was "Openingour meetings"

Bret,

Thanks for your further efforts. I am using Skype these days
and it mostly work (sometimes, cut or noisy, but as bad as many
mobiles are).

Denise, could you name those countries where Skype or other similar
ones are illegal? How many in practice?

I think even we have some barriers remain, we better try, it is
better than nothing, in my opinion.

AND, if we are to host public voice conf meeting (which is very
unfamiliar in Japan and many Asian countries in general I believe)
I would suggest to do a technical rehearsal say one week in advance.
In my experience we usually face technical glitches which makes
very bad image/damage especially for novice people or those
who are very critical/skeptical people.

thanks,

izumi
