For reasonable remote participation, presentation material should be made available in advance. It seems reasonable to allow minor edits within a day or even hours before the meeting starts. To do this, video and audio control should be centralized within the meeting room and virtualized in the cloud when necessary. A dual core Atom processor should be all that is needed. Rather than using an audio bridge with multiple simultaneous audio and video feeds, a strategy should be developed that suits those in the meeting venue as as well as those who are remote. For this, there should be a minor level of automation available to facilitate selection of individuals permitted to speak. This control should not need to be done at the meeting venue, but in the cloud as well. Regards, Douglas Otis
