Fwd: Fwd: Discontinuing UK and FR dial-in numbers for Zakim

this is only useful to  non-US callers only, I guess.

you may have seen this already.

for info: I have switched to SIP for this week's call using Ekiga (http://www.ekiga.net/) to get a free SIP address, and the 
X-Lite-4 softphone (which is fine except that I could not find a mute button)

works well for me (and it's free)

Previously we announced our intent to discontinue the UK and FR
telephone dial-in numbers for Zakim in favor of a VoIP solution.

http://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/Zakim-SIP

We have found the providers used to be costly and inconsistent not to
mention it raises inquiries of supporting additional dial-in numbers for
more countries.  We chose to instead invest in VoIP as an international
solution.

We will drop these numbers at the end of the month, please alert your
Working Groups.

The US number will remain available.
