Considering the technical possibilities it was planned having a 
conference system in which the remote delegates are logged in. At the 
conference site, a moderator is also logged in, and the computer used 
for this is hooked up to the conference room sound, and the page is 
being displayed on a beamer.

Any deligate, however, has the possibility to unmute hinself, and when 
he speaks up it will be heard by the full audience. Therefore, even if 
the moderator does not pay attention, or is busy or has a natural 
desire, any remote deligate has the chance to interfere and interact 
with the speaker at the site.

This only works - however - if the freedom of the delegates isn't too 
much compromised by using a system which is not fully built on free 
software. m)

This will be/was suggested to the responsible PPI Board members, and the 
remote delegates, and we will see if this gets accepted.
