>From Alexa, (thanks a lot, Alexa)

If you are attending either of the two ANIMA working group sessions this week at IETF 92 as a remote attendee, we want to let you know that we are running an experiment that will give you the ability to bypass the jabber relay when commenting or asking questions, and instead comment directly into the room. 

There will be two separate queues ? a virtual and an actual (in-room) queue. Remote attendees will log into the Meetecho platform and will have a virtual queue that they can enter if they have a question or comment. In-room participants will continue to use normal mic lines (queues). The working group chair (or a delegate) will move back and forth between the two queues, giving people turns. When someone in the virtual queue has a turn, Meetecho will inject their audio the room so that they can speak directly to/with everyone in the actual meeting room.

The remote queue will be displayed on a 2nd screen in the meeting room so that everyone can see if a remote attendee is waiting for their turn to speak. 

For the Tuesday 1520-1720 session, join at: http://www.meetecho.com/ietf92/anima

For the Friday 150-1320 session, join at: http://www.meetecho.com/ietf92/anima_II

Once you are in the Meetecho room you will see several icons next to your name, which will be displayed at the top left. If you wish to enter the queue, click on the raised hand and you will be entered into the queue.  If you wish to see the virtual queue on the screen, click on the icon in the upper right side that is circled in the attached image. When you get to the front of the mic line and it?s your turn, the chair (or delegate) will give you the ability to speak and your audio will be injected into the room. You can see an example of the virtual queue in second image attached to this email.
