Adobe Connect is a fantastic asset and a great tool for helping the chair of the meeting as well - for example, WG members raise their hands, and Adobe places them in an ordered queue for speaking rights. And just this week, I was unable to dial into another Study Group call - the hotel I was in in Geneva had very expensive local dialling to "0800" - so used Adobe Connect, and the sound quality was perfect. And its ideal for "drafting on the fly" which occassionally is a requirement for FOIWG. And with reviewing a document within it, it ensures all are reading the same document, not an earlier version etc. I'd like to see it used for Council as well...

Dear Councillors,
As you may know several of the ccNSO working groups are now using the virtual meeting tool *Adobe Connect* as an additional communication tool for their conference calls and I would like to note that this is an option for the Council as well.
Adobe Connect is good for several reasons:
- Communicating through the chat
- Displaying documents
- Connecting to the call using only the computer
- Voting on simple issues/documents
The most important thing is that nobody should feel excluded and we are aware that many of you on occasions need to take the Council calls on the road with no internet access.
It would be of much help o us if you could all indicate whether or not you think Adobe Connect would be a good tool for the Council calls, either on the list or directly to me.
Based on how people respond we will decide on whether or not it is worth a try.
