The GNSO uses the same teleconference facility. I would guess that

the GNSO e-mails include specific times because the GNSO staff put

them there, not because of the service provider. The GNSO conferences

work relatively well most of the time, and with FAR more people

participating. I suspect that part of the issue is that we have more

people from "unusual" locations which require call-outs (and

seemingly no mechanism to know that they have dropped and need to be

re-called).

I think that we should outlaw the use of Skype and equivalent, and

strongly discourage mobile phones unless absolutely necessary.

 
I don't believe that Skype should be excluded, but it should be better commodated by the service operator to resolve the problem of echoing. As for mobile, I don't like using it at all for the cast is very high. However, what if a participant (such as me) is so poor that she has no fix-line phone?
