Re: [chairs] Problems with pranksters on TC calls

[Don R Day <donrday@contelligencegroup.com>]

Along with noisy mannerisms ("I want my vote!"), the patterns are similar to the interruptions had by the DITA TC, except the names given were "Bruce Wayne" (last name had to be prompted) with a British accent and a more evasive "Marco" and one that I did not record.  I do not believe they would use real names. We have since removed passcodes from any public documents and sent a new passcode to members to use in confidence.

Hi all,

To add to this topic:

On today's PMRM TC meeting we had pranksters calling in about 17 minutes after the meeting started.

I have call control on my bridge, so disconnected the most recent connections, but they kept coming back, asking for a recap on what had been agreed on so far.

Three individuals came in, one named 'Chris Hunter', the other two being very evasive.

Is there a pattern with what you remember from your disturbed calls?

I performed a reset of my pin numbers to prevent further misuse.

Regards,

Gershon Janssen

We are having difficulties with some pranksters calling into our weekly DITA TC meeting and being disruptive. Are any other TCs having this difficulty?

Best,
