So, maybe the way we deal with mic is to...get rid of in-room microphones.
Have an app that runs on phones, laptops and tablets that puts you in
the queue, and you use your device mic to speak, when you are recognized.
I ended up as note-taker in AQM last week. Even being an AD doesn't get
you out of taking notes :-)
Which leads me to my point. It's a pretty serious disincentive for a
serious participant (and ADs are at least supposed to be paying
attention between e-mails) to volunteer as note-taker if they have to
stand in a mike line holding their laptop open and typing, in order to
say anything.
During the Harald Alvestrand-as-IETF Chair era, I was usually note-taker
for IESG plenaries, and we joked about that being a DOS attack because
if I was sitting down typing, I wasn't standing up talking (let's ignore
whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, OK?).
Some chairs have let me wave frantically to attract their attention, so
they could put me "virtually in line" until it was my turn, but I was
delaying the meeting while running to the mike and missing about half
what was said while returning to my seat.
Brian's suggestion could help with that.

We might need some kind of way handle an in-room participant that
doesn't have a suitable device, but that is a very small minority of
in-room participants.
It may be that the app has to do echo cancel, or maybe we could do it
centralized (as long as we can have accurate timing from the source).
