Peter,

Amazingly expensive. Calling from the US to Australia is incredibly cheap by 
comparison. Check out:

As for the openness of the meetings, I have a few suggestions. This is the internet 
age. We are internet kinds of guys. How about using it:

1) Record the meetings for WAV or MPEG download afterward. Then people can go back and 
find out what decisions were made and why.

2) Have a live feed for those whose connections are high enough. Heck, even put in a 
camera or three and feed them live as well.

3) Allow people to use internet phone chat s/w to add their comments in some parts of 
the meeting set aside for remote participants.
