Hi! Just a general question which came to my mind, being new to the WG: For what uses is IRC meant in a telecon? Of course, for technical things like self muting, and for voting, IRC is needed, that's clear to me. But most minutes I read always had pretty large portions of parallel /relevant/ discussion on IRC. And if I do not know about these IRC discussions, then I would miss important information, I believe. So I concluded that IRC is generally regarded to be equally important to voice. But when I tried to follow both channels in the two telecons I participated now, I always got a headache after a few minutes. Well, that's my problem of course, I'm not accustomed to use IRC, and I will try to get familiar with it over time. But I only wanted to know what is the current "IRC policy" (I don't find a better word, sorry) in our WG. Ah, and yet another question: What are these "[Scribe assist by...]" entries in the IRC log?
