Take Part Remotely

To encourage remote participation at this meeting, all sessions that take place in the main room are video webcast. Sessions that take place in the side rooms are broadcast in audio only.

• Archives of sessions are made available on our site after the meeting.
  

Additionally, you can join the discussions by using instant messaging software. Both IRC and Jabber are supported. During each session, RIPE NCC staff monitor the remote feedback channels and relay any questions or comments to the presenter or session chair.

A real time stenography service is available for all plenary and RIPE Working Group sessions.

• Archives of sessions are made available on our site after the meeting.

Netiquette for Remote Participation

• State your name and organisation/affiliation and then type your question or comment as clearly and concisely as possible.
• The channel monitor will read out all comments and questions when the presenter has called for questions.
  
• All discussions are then archived and made available to the public on this website.

Please note: There is a variable time delay between actual events at the meeting venue and the webcast. Although the channel monitor will inform the chat room that the presenter has asked for questions, you should ask your question as soon as you can.
