If folks want to see what a Zoom-based future looks like, you only have to look at how the DIF SDS WG's transcripts and recordings are going: Entire meetings missing transcripts, no transcripts being sent to W3C CCG mailing list (a joint partner in that work effort): https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/23488 https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/23489 https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/23480 https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/23011 https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/22693 Entire meeting recordings and transcripts missing: https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/23066 https://lists.identity.foundation/g/sds-wg/wiki/22687 ... and all of those recordings and transcripts are on proprietary infrastructure that could disappear tomorrow (no backups). That is no way to build an open standard. To be clear, I'm not throwing shade at the DIF SDS WG Chairs or DIF... they're doing their best with what they have. That said, those transparency gaps are what not having the proper infrastructure and humans involved at every step of the process leads to. That is what our future looks like if we switch to Zoom permanently. We need infrastructure that helps us run meetings AND record what happened in those meetings for archival, accessibility, and intellectual property release purposes. Zoom only solves part of the equation and will never get us to something that's fully automated. Jitsi provides a path forward for full automation... but it'll take time and effort to get there. -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
