Not for the kinds of meetings we are talking about. We are talking
about WG meetings that are scheduled weeks out in advance. Things
shouldn't be in serious flux moments before the call... There may be
exceptions, but in general charts can be done a few days out in
advance of a meeting.
A meeting schedule does not ensure presentation stability and
technology allows presentations to reflect recent discussions. Many
will clarify where discussions have advanced, and some progress occurs
just prior to meetings. As with their own names, many tend to forget
to state which side is being projected as well. Streaming static
images that are being projected seems practical, especially when the
device connected to the projector is standardized.
Playing back an audio recording is not the normal case. We should
design for the normal case.
Actually, I've done this fairly often. It has advantages to
following a meeting in real-time (one can pause, rewind, etc.) in
cases where one is not expecting to actually contribute/speak during
the meeting.
One might wonder whether a voice-mail feature could serve as a type of
remote question queue. Someone might listen to messages privately to
avoid repeated questions. A dynamic phone list could allow callbacks
when further elaboration of a question is desired. The same callback
mechanism might support audio for remote presentations as well.
Stay focused on enhancing remote participation with IETF meetings.
There are many suitable solutions for interim meetings where
participants are all remote.
