Hi Zita, ADA. For future video communications take a look at EVO... evo.caltech.edu
It is built by CalTech for all the physics geeks involved with CERN around the world. Last time I checked they still allowed academic and educational use for free. It would pay to read the fine print about using for the likes of an AGM. EVO supports tie ins to most proprietary video conference gear and can support many many participants... When they did the first LHC startup I was in a meeting with about 700 other people. Watching them "flick the switch" was pretty cool. The other people to talk to are the crowd who run the Video conference and collaboration centre as part of the KAREN network http://avcc.karen.net.nz/ their video conference bridge is pretty cool (supports web streaming etc) From memory they still allow free not for profit use.
