I've had two PMs suggesting that a webcam kind of arrangement, easy and cheap enough to organise in all conscience, will be less than welcome.

There probably needs to be some discussion about this. Obviously, open slather - a webcam going all the time a la Big Brother or those prurient web sites - is a bit pointless anyway, since quite a lot of chit-chat will not be in plenary sessions.

Perhaps - and this is just an idea, open for discussion - we should organise one plenary session a day, which would be webcammed (such a word, tswum? - could be architected!) for the consumption, edification and probable complete and utter boredom of those unable to make it to the secret meeting site (who put that dib-dib sign over the door, anyway?).

Since the concerns expressed to me about broadcasting the meeting have been around privacy, we could do that and only provide the url to those who should have it by PM or email.

Anyway, the floor is yours, ladies and gents. Whaddya think?
