This is a great idea! I think I've attended about fifteen IETF's now and at each one I've been to many multicast sessions but I've never, NEVER heard a live question from a multicast viewer. Now, perhaps viewers have been posting questions to their repective mail lists (I've never seen that, either). But, it seems to me that history indicates the record is much more valuable than the live interaction. --aaron
