## Online Chat

Technical Committees may find it helpful to take advantage of an online chat facility during a meeting to:

- manage the speaker queue
- display relevent URIs
- display text of Motions under discussion or vote
- record and capture meeting Minutes

OASIS Technical Committees are authorized to use the online chat facility provided by IBM and available at http://webconf.soaphub.org/conf/room/

The Technical Committee "shortname" should be used as the room designation. The "room" can be accessed directly adding the room designation to the URI above.

The online chat facility has several advantages over an IRC Channel:

- web-based - no plug-ins required
- speaker queue
- simple voting mechanism
- chat history is viewable upon joining room

Best Practice: Be sure to note the chat room URI in your meeting agenda.
