When I have used this in the past the convener has been able to generate a
direct link to the call for Skype users. As it is, while experimenting with
doing it this way in Skype with the users entering the number, I've been
totally unsuccessful at entering the room number from the edit field. I
think the more accessible way to use this service is to register and then
Skype will generate ID's for moderator and participants that activate from a
link and do not require you to find some elusive place to enter the room
number. Other than the standard edit field, I don't know where you'd enter
it.

> Gregg
> Hi all,
> We will be posting different topics in different emails to make it
> easier to find them in the future and to keep different threads
> separate. Sorry for extra emails here at the start.
> This email is about getting started while we wait for permission to
> meet.
> Use of the mail list
> We would like to suggest that the group make good use of the mail list
> for discussion.
> In fact we would like to suggest that everything flow through the list
> in one form or another.
> - anything discussed in teleconf calls is summarized (or a pointer to
> a summary) is posted to the list
> - anything posted to the working group workpage
> (http://teitac.org/wiki/General_Interface_Accessibility) would be run
> through the list - or a link to it posted to the list
> Discussions on the list are the most accessible, most time-friendly
> (people can access during work or home hours everywhere on the globe),
> and vacation or whatever friendly. So instead of just waiting for the
> call - lets get started on the mail list.
> Sign up for list if not already
> This is the LAST email that we will do with a long list of email
> names. All others will be made just to the list to be sure we include
> new people as they join.
> So if you have not signed up for the list - please do so right now.
> Subscribe at http://list.teitac.org/mailman/listinfo/teitac-general or
> by sending an e-mail to = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED =
> <mailto: = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = ?subject=SUBSCRIBE>
> with the word 'SUBSCRIBE' in the SUBJECT line.
> **** Messages to the list should be addressed to
> = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = .
> Ideas for Participation
> We will collect ideas for discussion from the discussion at the TEITAC
> meeting and from our list.
> We will be compiling these and keeping a running list of them on our
> work page http://teitac.org/wiki/General_Interface_Accessibility)
> Updating Pages
> As per above, whenever pages are updated we will post to the main
> list. Others can update pages too - but please note it to the list.
> ALSO- please add to pages but don't delete from the pages. If you see
> something that needs deleting for some reason - please contact the
> chairs. We want
> to collect information not censor it so we want to be judicious in any
> trimming that is done.
> Lets start with people posting ideas or topics to the list. Please
> post one idea per email and put a clear subject on the email to
> facilitate tracking of discussions.
> Topics
> In general - we are charged with
> 1) Reviewing the provisions
> 2) Looking for gaps
> 3) Looking for problems
> 4) Considering the Themes throughout
> Our group was to look at things like
> 1) Looking at issues that occur across multiple technologies
> 2) Reviewing the functional performance criteria
> 3) Other cross cutting issues (but not delving into technology
> specific issues - which are covered by indiv subcommittees)
> The group is not charged with deciding anything. Just identifying,
> highlighting, exploring options to issues identified, and then
> providing information on all of these to the TEITAC to inform the
> TEITAC - who will then decide what to do.
> Two topics sent to our group by individuals on our group were
> - issues related to multiple chemical sensitivity
> - functional component view of the standards
> In order to keep all this straight, we will post a page that organizes
> all the topics mentioned or under discussion. We can then use that as
> a touchpoint as we move forward.
> Everyone
> Please think about our charge and post your thoughts to the list. In
> particular
> 1) what are the topic areas
> 2) what are the key questions/issues
> 3) what we should be collecting in the way of information that will
> help the committee
> 4) what analyses we should be conducting (or do we know of that would
> help)
