If you HAVE been contacted by an MCU manager, then follow whatever connection information has been provided to you to use that MCU. This applies mostly to participants outside the USA. If you HAVE NOT been contacted by an MCU manager, then do one of the following to call in to the rehearsal: If you are NOT part of ViDeNet, then set your gatekeeper address to 192.148.244.115 Then dial one of the following conference IDs.

The T.120 system which enables you to see the slides of the speakers continues to improve. Please use it during the rehearsal. Instructions are on the announcements section of the web pages. THE POPCORN HAS ARRIVED! This special effect for the Virtual Picnic event of the Megaconference should be arriving at all your locations, assuming you ordered it. It is in a beautiful container, with a special Megaconference label. Definitely something you will want to keep on your shelf as a momento of this event. Ordering instructions are in the announcements section of the web pages. I urge you to order it even if might not arrive in time, just for the momento value. A new event has been added to the Megaconference. At 12:00 CDT (GMT-5) on Wednesday, we will have a special roll call of all registered participants. This is your chance to stand up and be recognized before the world! Because there are so many registrants, it will have to go quickly. You will be called in alphabetical order by institution name. This list is now on the web pages in the Registrants section. Please follow along with the web list and keep your finger ready on the mute button when we get close to you. When you are called upon, please unmute, and speak up loudly and clearly and tell us your name, institution or organization name, city, state(if USA) and country. Then say anything you want to for about 10 seconds. It could be about yourself, or your organization, or about H.323, or anything! We want it to be interesting and entertaining for everyone else. The rehearsal Friday will be done in the same way; you will be called in alphabetical order by organization. Those who have already been recognized in previous rehearsals will not be called. Note that the list on the web does not have the latest registrations, but the list we will use for the roll call will be. See you then! Bob Robert S.
