[gf-chairs] International phone conferences: experience gathering

[Olle Mulmo]

Dear all,

I would like to hear from you about your experiences with different 
technologies and service providers that you have encountered/used when 
setting up phone conferences for your WG/RG. In particular, I would 
like to know about the really good ones and the really bad ones. This 
would be a great bit of feedback to give to new chairs and others that 
have not yet found their way through the jungle of conference call 
offerings that are out there.

Some data points I'd like to know about:

- Service provider
   (URL)
- Scalability
   (limitations in # of lines)
- Ease of use
   (how easy is it to set up/reschedule/extend/cancel a call)
- Robustness
   (noise/echo/cut-offs/...)
- Cost for the organizer
   (fees)
- Cost for the participant
   (dial-in options, support for local "800 numbers" in various
    countries, ...)

Please send any experiences you would wish to share to me and/or the 
list, and I'll summarize.

Thanks,

/Olle
