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?

I really ask ICANN/Nick to reconsider the Conf Call operator and suggest the feasibility of using the one GNSO is using (Alan, am I correct that they are better in service and quality?) Also to prevent some mistake Vittorio had, I also like to suggest the specific time to each member of ALAC be displayed in the call notice, just like the GNSO call annoucement does.
