Subject: Re: [chairs] OASIS IRC, and phone bridges
Thanks, Kelvin. Tech staff (principally IT manager Rob Figenbaum) gets the thanks for the iRC work. More to talk about, quite soon. On phones: global accessibility is a big concern for us also. On the other hand, our dues and infrastructure are a fraction of W3 -- OASIS traditionally has been thin-client, fiscally and in other ways, by design. On the third hand, the economics of phone service fundamentally is changing. I know, from painful memory myself, that asking for and managing bridges is an annoyance. More acutely, is it a barrier? To what extent do other leaders on this list think that phone bridge economics is a gating issue for us? Is there a distinct issue for big vs. small TCs, or those with wider vs. narrower geographic dispersion?
