IETF 108 Online Session Working Group Chairs,

The IETF 108 Online meeting starts shortly.

As you know, we are using Meetecho as the collaboration platform for all scheduled the entire online meeting sessions, for the very first time. We are excited about this, and we do not anticipate any issues. However, in case we encounter severe outages or connectivity issues, we have pre-configured Webex meeting rooms for all sessions as back-ups.

We will be monitoring all meeting sessions and if we determine that a Meetecho outage is preventing a session from taking place, the Secretariat will send WebEx host keys to the affected session chairs, and we will distribute the WebEx login information via email to the entire community. We will keep the entire community updated via email if an outage persists across multiple sessions, necessitating the further use of the back-up Webex meeting rooms. 

Also, a reminder that Meetecho testing sessions are available 30 minutes before the start of sessions through 30 minutes after sessions each day at:

https://gce.conf.meetecho.com/conference/?group=prova

We hope you have a productive IETF 108 Online!

-Greg
