Alissa: Hi! Responding from the LATAM point of view. I’m cc’ing Christian explicitly because he may have more information. I have reviewed the drafts about remote hubs and I have a few questions for those who have been involved in them to date. I have not been tracking this closely until now so I appreciate your help in getting me up-to-speed. 1) Has there been any tracking of the activity in remote hubs? E.g., the names of people who show up or how many people show up per hub and for which WG sessions? If not, is there a sense of whether those organizing remote hubs would be open to tracking such data and sharing it with the IAOC and secretariat so that we can build a consistent picture over time of how participation is evolving globally at these hubs? Yes. In general we’ve encouraged the hubs to “sign the blue sheet”, and in some cases have even submitted some of them (specially at the first hub experiment in Hawaii). Of course, ymmv. On line blue sheets would be ideal. Encouraging official registration as remote participant I think helps the IAOC/secretariat already. 2) For hubs that have been available for multiple meetings in the same locations, does it tend to be the case that the same folks show up time and again (for the same or similar working groups), or is there a lot of turnover from meeting to meeting? I think we’ve had the opposite experience than Vinayak: remote hubs based in academia have been the most consistent, mostly in topics/WGs. 3) Have remote hubs been used for participation in interim meetings or virtual interim meetings? Not as far as I know. 4) Other than on the existing dedicated hub lists and the remote hubs page on ietf.org<http://ietf.org>, how/where is the existence of remote hubs advertised? Any other local lists? [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 5) I see the remote hubs page for IETF 98 listed at <https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/doku.php?id=98remotehubs>, but for some past meetings I see these listed in different places on the meeting wiki, or not listed at all. Am I correct that there has not been a consistent URL for the remote hubs list? Yes. It’s still work in progress. Christian gets better every time! ☺ 6) Have any remote hubs on academic or corporate campuses been used for participants to connect during non-business hours (e.g., late at night)? How have people dealt with getting building access off-hours? Has this been a barrier to getting hubs setup in locations where there was demand from a group of people to join a meeting off-hours? Yes. Yes, time difference is the most obvious barrier to remote hubs. Alvaro.
