The attendance has largely been folks from Juniper (in the 3-8 range) with 1 or 2 others. There have been various ways of signing up (doodle polls and the like). I'm sure that suggesting a tool that could also share information would work; I'd be slightly concerned about adding extra load for the organizer to summarize details afterwards. > 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? > Again, for the remote hubs that have been done in Boston, there are repeat folks - but these are largely developers already engaged in at least reading drafts, if not reviewing and some have certainly written drafts previously. At least one of the new people to remote hubs has also come to the technical talks sessions also. There were remote hubs for IETF 95 and 96 in the Boston-area; IETF 97 had too large a time difference. > 3) Have remote hubs been used for participation in interim meetings or > virtual interim meetings? > Not to my knowledge in the Boston-area. > 4) Other than on the existing dedicated hub lists and the remote hubs page > on ietf.org, how/where is the existence of remote hubs advertised?

For the first remote hub for IETF 95, we did use Juniper's meetup to announce and collect RSVPs. > 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.
