RE: ditch voip/sip

Just as an FYI, Zoom is not blocked for us (DHS). Current recommendations are to use the web, no local install, when we participate on an externally initiated Zoom call.

Not sure about other USG agency policies. We speak with many voices : -)

Best Regards,

Anil

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of DHS. DO NOT click links or open attachments unless you recognize and/or trust the sender. Contact your component SOC with questions or concerns.

We also have the problem that many of our members, including federal employees, are restricted from running Zoom on corporate computers.

So, while I do like the idea of a standard screen sharing solution, I'd lean towards something that doesn't isolate our members who have IT departments with a sensitivity to Zoom's privacy and security issues.

Kim, you may also want to look at the auto-transcription capability.  It is being used on the Secure Data Storage WG, and it has convinced the community there.

Thank you so much Balázs. When we've discussed this in the past, we had a few concerns around switching (which I've managed to block out), but the big factor that stands out is cost. DIF's support would be a tremendous help.

I think all of our other concerns would be addressed by doing zoom + irc (for queueing/minutes). As a bonus, zoom recordings are way easier than what we do now (which is the reason some recordings are still to-be-backfilled).

Chairs: we'll need to make sure we're not forgetting anything; let's discuss.

I am wondering why sip is still the used method, especially given that ZOOM is used for other calls, even in the same group (e.g., did-resolution). I read in the mailing list archives that one of the reasons is audio recording, but AFAICT the audio recordings from most of the last meetings are missing (e.g., https://w3c-ccg.github.io/meetings/2020-05-19/audio.ogg  https://w3c-ccg.github.io/meetings/2020-04-21/audio.ogg https://w3c-ccg.github.io/meetings/2020-04-07/audio.ogg and many others)
