The big difference between an irc channel and this virtual meeting space
idea is the virtual space has a definate time of participation.

>From the physical meeting space, we setup a video camera, which will

require someone to run, which sends out a slow video feed with reasonably
fast streaming audio. There will need to be a moderator who selects the
outgoing video/sound feed from either a physical participant or a remote
one. It might be too much of a technical nightmare to try and switch video
feeds, or it might not.

Actually, during the meeting time would be the best time to use the irc.
For the many people who are bandwidth-challenged, irc would make an
excellent avenue for submitting question to the meeting.

So, how many ISP's are multicast capable? If this were pursued, it would
require a meeting space that is net-connected very well with multicast
capabilities. This might be a difficult environment to find.
