Hans-Werner,

A real interesting idea would be to offer to hold the meeting at a
particular site *only* for those peoiple that did not have at least
mbone connectivity suitable for wb and audio, and have none of the
speakers attend, have them all present remotely.  :-)  :-)  :-)

It would certainly be a first for NANOG, though some IETF WGs have
already done this.  While fine for presentations, Q&A or open
discussion becomes tough to moderate.
