The Jabber Scribe Role at IETF Meetings
Abstract
During IETF meetings, individual volunteers often help sessions run
more smoothly by relaying information back and forth between the
physical meeting room and an associated textual chatroom. Such
volunteers are commonly called "Jabber scribes". This document
summarizes experience with the Jabber scribe role and provides some
suggestions for fulfilling the role at IETF meetings.

1. Introduction
During IETF meetings, individual volunteers often help sessions run
more smoothly by relaying information back and forth between the
physical meeting room and an associated textual chatroom. Because
these chatrooms are currently implemented using Jabber/XMPP
technologies (see [RFC6120] and [XEP-0045]), the role is commonly
referred to as that of a "Jabber scribe" (however, nothing prevents
the IETF from using some other technology for chatrooms in the future
or from discontinuing the use of chatrooms entirely).
This role is important because it is the primary way for a remote
attendee to provide feedback or comments back into most IETF meeting
sessions. Although there are multiple ways that a remote attendee
can listen and follow along, the chatroom provides a method of
returning feedback to the physical meeting in something close to real
time. These methods hold true for IETF working group sessions, IRTF
research group sessions, IETF "birds of a feather" (BoF) sessions,
and similar sessions at IETF meetings.
