You asked the same question I did when reading the digest:
That raises the obvious question: How do those who can't afford to go
to an expensive conference like Globecom or ICC get to make the case
for cheaper conferences?
Could the telepresence options discussed earlier be able to be applied
to those meetings? The IETF does it well, with all speakers
announcing themselves and speaking into a microphone connected to an
on-line audio stream, along with a person taking notes to a text-based
chat system etc.
It wouldn't have to be at all meetings, but would be good to have at a
meeting discussing the need for low-budget conferences.
Cheers,

If you trust me or Heiner, the present and former Directors of Conf Dev, you
could send us private email with the issues you'd like us to raise during
the meeting. We could even get it on the agenda. The logic here is that
Heiner and I are already going and look for input. If you don't trust me
then you should find a ICC 2010 author you know and have that person act as
your representative. The on-line version sounds good and might work, but
we've found that on-line access across international boundaries isn't always
reliable. I've spent a couple of frustrating meetings both inside the room
and on the phone (or VoIP), so a backup plan is good to have.
Cheers, Fred
