[Go] GO meeting registrations

[Jennifer Deegan (nee Clark)]

Hi,

I have added a table at the bottom of the page where people can sign up 
to participate remotely. It would be great if we could have accurate 
numbers well in advance as this will enable us to get technology which 
is capable of handling the required number of connections.

Since it is much cheaper and easier for participants to take part 
remotely, I would imagine that people who would not normally be able to 
attend may be able to listen in this time. If you would be interested to 
participate, please add your details and we will figure out if we can 
accommodate everyone.

Some people have mentioned that it may be difficult to call in in the 
evening when at home with children. However we have found from 
experience that muting the microphone and listening to the meeting like 
a radio programme works well in this situation. The microphone can 
easily by turned back on to allow the remote participant to contribute 
to the meeting. We plan to show the talk slides via a screensharing 
system so all remote participants will be able to follow the visual aids 
as well as the sound.

Thanks for taking the time to fill in the table.

Best wishes,

Jennifer
