  • reviewed two conferencing solutions - Cisco Webex and Uberconference 
  • had call with ICANN IT staff to discuss status on Summary of LACRALO translation email list issues ; collaborating on testing new plugins with Adobe Connect ; wiki translate plugins
  • looking at suitable Adobe Connect plugins

    • The TTF tested the direct dialout plugin installed in the TTF AC room and whilst persons from North America and Europe (specifically Canada, France) were able to use the plugin to have the AC room dial them, I (living in Trinidad and Tobago with a +1-868-6XX-XXXX number) was unable to have the AC room dial to me, giving me an error has occurred. No amount of permutations of the phone number (using "+1-868-6.." , "18686...") seemed to work.
    • However, in thinking about this feature, there are some disadvantages
      - this wouldn't work for persons requesting dialouts to a hotel or office with a PBX where a receptionist operator answers.
      - this plugin uses a different bridge from Adigo, how would recording (incorporating audio from the AC room, Adigo and this phone bridge) be done?
      - this wouldn't be helpful for At-Large calls with interpretation since the person being dialled can't join a Adigo channel
      However the TTF on its calls have identified two plugins for Adobe Connect that could be of use for At-Large and we would like for these plugins to be installed for our testing after the Singapore meeting 
      1) Stage Lights - Stage Lights is a timer that helps keep presenters on time. http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/feature-details/stage-lights.html
      2) SurveyMaker for Adobe Connect - Surveys and polls with eleven question types, built-in reporting, CSV downloads and much more. A demo is available
  • In response to the  ALS Skype video recordings.  a new page was created to provide AT LARGE Structures some guidance to do a VIDEO CONFERENCE well.   The  link is 10 Ways to Improve Your Video/Skype Conference CallThe major concerns was the poor sound quality, low resolution video, poor postioning of the video camera, shabby backgrounds for the video and more.

  • worked on the first prototype template for At-Large Working Group Pages developed : TEST - Template for At-Large WG pages

  • Troubleshooting connecting to Adobe Connect rooms using Linux - Gordon Chillcott and Bill Thanis from the TTF are regular Linux users and would be better able to talk the talk re: desktop Linux in getting the necessary information to IT staff for you and to document the problems and collaborate with you on solutions/workarounds.
