Deutsche Telekom provided Net connectivity, and Germanynet augmented our
own 25-stream realvideo server with their own. The rest of the
scribing/webcast/comments system has been floated by the Berkman Center,
with a commitment by ICANN to reimburse our hard costs once it's not penniless.
It was great to see the work pay off with a critical mass of active online
participants, which will encourage in-room participants to come to expect
that online comments can be introduced into the flow of the meeting as it
happens. At one point it seemed as if you and Karl were refreshing the
comments screen enough to see each others' comments--allowing you to lodge
new ones responsive to each, in turn displayed to the meeting. Really
cool. ...JZ
P.S. The thanks from everyone are really appreciated--about half a dozen
Berkman folk worked astonishingly hard on this (including John Wilbanks,
who reported for work in Cambridge at 2 a.m.), and it's important to know
it can make a difference.
