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.
