TELECONFERENCING FOR GA MULTICAST
We think exposing the GA proceedings/process to the widest possible audience is a critical strategic objective: demonstrating the possibility of direct mass democracy is one of this movement's unique accomplishments.
We note with concern that most of the discussion about enabling this focuses on Web streaming, which we believe has some distinct disadvantages.
