Some discussions took place early in the month about the different
environments available for real-time meetings, and those discussions are
posted on the ASI web site. Beyond that, nothing has been done in this
area, and we are still looking for volunteers to do additional research.

Brian Cesar and Brad Ackerman did some research on various options for
holding Artemis real-time meetings and settled on IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
as the most promising environment to start with. A discussion in the ECTC
mailing list about public vs. private IRC servers led to the plan to first
set up Artemis "channels" on existing IRC networks, with the future option
of setting up our own IRC server on asi.org's new home. Brian and Brad are
working on a Real-Time Meetings procedure guide that will include
instructions on getting set up to access an IRC server and how to join
real-time Artemis discussions.
