Excellent idea! And since this part of the IETF is driven by volunteers, I'm thinking you're willing to volunteer? ...organize the reflectors, work with the terminal room to make sure there is bandwidth (what should we do for other meetings when the bandwidth isn't available), run the local reflector (software and hardware), etc. And if you'd like to do a different encoding then make sure to bring your own encoder machine. We can easily make both an audio and video feed from either (or both) rooms available to you. Real and NCast have done this in the past, but we tend not to advertise these additional services as widely since they are not services that will consistently be offered at each meeting... and if the service isn't offered every time then it becomes hard for attendees to plan on NOT attending because they aren't sure whether they can really listen. -Kevin
