XSF Discussion - 2013-11-24

ralphm: by those funny rules the answer seems to be yes

but bear, who hummed in the jabber room on the topic of h.264 vs vp8 is not

voting at an IETF meeting is allowed just by showing up - there are no "rules" about who can vote or not, if you show up and are interested you vote

that's the votes are done by humms, it's to get a feel if the group as a whole is comfortable with the discussion

rtcweb doesn't care :-)

that happens sometimes with some WG chairs

this whole thing is a waste of time... but i think it would be interesting to see what happens when you ask the chairs to count your vote :-)

would you mind if i claimed that rtcweb@jabber.ietf.org/bear was really me?

if you have a reason to explore that, I do not mind

well, the logs don't contain any information which proves that rtcweb@jabber.ietf.org/bear was really you

Does it matter?

right, the jabber logs are informational

How do I know you were really you in the room when you hummed? :)

all the work/votes/foo that counts is in the mailing list

well, physical room events they pass around a piece of paper for folks to register, but even that is optional as quite a few folks don't identify *at all* during meetings

well, not counting the people in the jabber room is going to add negative bias to the pro-vp8 camp
