IETF 95 attendees,

Given that we'll have remote attendees for many of the working groups, I would encourage people to consider volunteering as a "jabber scribe" in the working groups you attend this week.  This role is critical in helping remote attendees be able to participate in the discussions going on in the rooms here in Buenos Aires.

If you are newer to IETF meetings, acting as a jabber scribe is a great way to learn more about the process and get involved.  It has helped me learn the names of people involved with groups and also, quite frankly, helped me keep focused on paying attention to what is going on in the sessions.

The most important part of the role is helping relay questions from remote participants to the room by going up to the mic and asking the question on behalf of the remote attendee.

All you need is an account on a Jabber server (a list of servers that allow public registration: https://xmpp.net/directory.php ) and a client (a list of clients: http://xmpp.org/software/clients.html )

Anyway, throughout the week the working groups will be looking for volunteers - and even if someone else volunteers having a second person available as a backup is always great to have.

Please consider helping out this way if you can!
Thanks,
Dan

P.S. If you'd like more information about the role, Peter St. Andre and I captured some suggestions in this document: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7649
