[lir-wg] Webcasting Meetings

Hi
    I am formaly asking that if not RIPE 43 then all future meetings will be
webcast so that all memebers who want to attend can attend the meeting.
Otherwise this is by no means an equal opportunity meeing to attend and is
only open to those who can get their expenses justified for holiday
destinations with the express intention of going to the meeting, which lets
face it in the current climate is nigh impossible. Its not that i do not
appreciate the venues or that the meetings are not the place to go, its just
getting harder to get to them.
    I wish to see a broader section of the community contributing to the
RIPE process which is unique and a fine foundation for the RIPE community to
come together, its just that the coming together is much harder for most
now. Otherwise the only views expressed and heard are those of the people
who can attend physicaly which is not the majority so limiting the scope and
participation of the community at large.
