Melinda,
I agree with Anoop (I just thought I'd get that in for its shock
value). :-)
Usually, if the agenda is tight, you need to be headed for the
microphone before a
presenter is done, or the Chairs will move immediately on to the next
presentation.
If you have attended very many IETF WG meetings, you most likely have
been in a
meeting where the line was cut off with folks still standing at the microphone.
If you have
been to a lot of IETF meetings and have not personally been a victim of "take
it to the list",
then either you're shy, or very lucky.
If you are the "jabber" scribe, you'd be a victim of delayed reactions
from remote
participants, in combination with delays in getting to the microphone. A delay
of a single
minute will likely decide whether you make it in before the cut off or not.
I think it is possible for the chairs to give special consideration to
scribes when
they have otherwise closed the queue, however. But this would necessarily mean
that a
scribe would be restricted to just asking questions for remote "jabber"
participants - and
not for themselves (though that might be an incentive to volunteer to be a
scribe).
Note that all of these observations apply whether we are using jabber,
or WebEx.

I've participated in working group sessions remotely dozens of times and I
don't quite understand this comment. It's not as if you can just pipe up when
the spirit moves you when you're in the room, either - you have to stand in
line and wait your turn.
There's not much multi-party discussion, either. Ultimately how successful
remote participation is comes down to the attentiveness of the chairs, I think.
