Provided any presentation materials are shared, this is a very viable option.

Zoom offers a phone dial-in option as an alternative which hopefully would cover members in more restrictive IT environments?

I also struggled multiple times to join via SIP, so I would be happy with Zoom too.

A Zoom SIP connector seems to available for a fee to allow those users to join: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363273-Getting-Started-With-H-323-SIP-Room-Connector


Also, note that it seems Zoom doesn't support chatbots within the live meeting chat (https://devforum.zoom.us/t/allow-chatbots-to-join-meeting-chats/8875), although we could still have parity with the join/part notifications we have in IRC today using the Meetings Events webhooks (https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/meeting-events/participant-joined-meeting). So if we were to use Zoom, we may need to rewrite this integration and should keep all the chat and scribing within IRC for max accessibility.

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)
