Remote participation in ALAC meetings

This is the first time I've had to participate via remote tools to the ICANN meeting.
The webcast hasn't been great - audio hasn't been good, but at least I got to see what was going on.
ALAC meetings has excellent remote participation for the 2 members who were absent owing to family illnesses (me and Jean Polly) as well as some memebrs who had to leave early (Erick). We got a webcam view, and skype audio and a phone link were options for participation. A Skype chat posted on the screen in the room allowed us to request speaking time remotely.
It worked so well that I was even able to run for Chair of the Committee remotely. I didn't win (barely), but I think that the discussion was very helpful to the future functioning of the ALAC, and I congratulate Annette Muelhberg, the returning Chair of ALAC. Also our other positions - congrats to all the volunteers.

Missing the meeting

Hi everyone
I can't be there this time for the first time since I was appointed to ALAC by NomCom last year - my dad was badly injured in a car accident and is in intensive care.
I really wanted to come, as it's the LAC region meeting and also the formation of the LACRALO that I've spent so much time on in the past year. But I have been participating remotely, with the webcasts, and the ALAC has me able to attend meetings via Skype.
It's also way cool that this site exists and I can also participate in the informal discussions that surround the meeting (one of the things that we miss a lot in remote participation)
