[Go] teleconferencing for GO meetings and registrations

[Daniel Barrell]

Hi Doug,

I can teleconference in on the Monday, I'm happy to join others. On the 
Monday though I will also be juggling childcare so I'd like to be able 
to listen in but need not take part (does webex stream audio as well?)

Cheers

Dan
