Maybe next time you try to take an active part in the actual conversation instead of backseat-moderating things after the fact. </rant>

If you're suggesting that we have a process where the only way to contribute or criticize it is to attend a synchronous video call it is a discriminatory one. I hope that's not what you're suggesting.


I don't think that's what's being suggested. Posting a video recording of a video meeting is analogous to posting the log of the rocket-chat meeting. If one cannot attend for whatever reason, one can then watch the video to hear and see the entire meeting. Moveover, you get the intended feelings, meanings and connections in ways you don't with a text-only version. These are certainly nice extras. Not everyone has time for potentially lengthy email correspondence, so video meetings are a more efficient way for conversation to take place, and it's much easier to feel out the room. No one is suggesting that conversation should take place here exclusively, with the caveat that if you ask for information that was already discussed in the meeting (be it video, or text), you may be asked to reference the source material. If someone is having trouble accessing or playing the video, we can look into options to help that person out. Unless that's happening somewhere, and the technological requirements are not insurmountable, then video meetings are not discriminatory, IMHO.
