+1 Thanks for setting that up for us! I'm not sure I've used a
BigBlueButton server for one of these meetings before but look forward to
trying it out.

+1 for Jitsi; I think it meets the suggested requirements and I've often
used it for meetings.

Also, as raised earlier in the thread, I have had success using Matrix for
group chat, with the added bonus of having 'bridges' in order to
interoperate with other services (where someone has an existing setup, a
legacy system, or a preferred tool or interface).

I'm also happy and willing to meet over a Zoom call or some other
proprietary service -- even if there is a shared long-term goal to try to
make more of these technologies standards-based. I don't think it's a
distraction to try out the kind of tools we want to support, but I also
don't think testing those tools is the primary work of the group.

Cheers,
Nick
