[aso-council] Re: 6. Public listeing facility to AC phone conferences

["Hans Petter Holen" <hph@online.no>]

As mentioned at our last phone conference, I asked the RIPE community wether
there was any interest in setting up listen in facilities for our phone
conferences. A few (<5) expressed by a show of hands that they were
interested, a few (<5) expressed by show of hands that they think we need no
use resources to look into this. The wast majority (>100) expressed no
opioion on this issue.

Maybe it is worth asking the other regional communities the same question ?
