Why? I want to be able to give the presentation from my office (or home
across ISDN for that matter), sitting down in front of my workstations,
and reading presentation slides from files. The noise problem should be
resolved with proper floor control and someone managing it.
Of course I'd need to remember to shave if I do it from home.

You could do that. I was refering to the meetings I've seen on the MBone
where a dark human like figure appears in silhouette in front of an
unreadable overhead projector beam. I'd like to see improvements in the
source.
Similarly, by noise I wasn't actually refering to "Managing the distributed
MBone meeting" sorts of problems but rather the current state of the
technology. Splotches of missing audio and slow scan (and often missing
frames) ofvideo make it very difficult for me to consider this current
incarnation of technology for transparently distributed meetings. I find
myself just too distracted by these visible shortfalls in the technology.

This isn't a shortfall in the technology, it's a shortfall in YOUR net
connection bandwidth or your service provider's bandwidth. Once the
infrastructure gets updated with enough bandwidth, this kind of problem
should miraculously disappear

Greetings,
I videotaped both days of the NANOG (Regional Techs) meeting a couple
years ago and got many compliments on keeping the camera on the talent,
zooming in on the overheads such that they were readable, and even picked
off the main audio feed in the auditorium. My motto is: If ya can't get
all the available information onto the video tape, then the event wasn't
worth taping.
I'm willing to do this again but as I won't be getting overtime from my
employer to be there, I'd have to ask my usual consulting fee of $150 per
day. (I know, I work cheap). For that I'll provide the folks running the
MBone gear with a clean baseband audio and video feed.

P.S. Kinda short notice for Monday's meeting, but, to really do it up good
the meeting should be shot with two cameras, one for talent and the other
for wide shots and when questions are coming from the peanut gallery. A
shotgun mic for peanut gallery questions would be nice as well
