I wasn't going to mention that, since I didn't want to tell tales out of
school. But the fact that remote participation actually was provided for
"the right people," even though I was told repeatedly that it wasn't
possible, actually highlights a big part of the problem.

At various points when I was asking for remote participation at BSDCAN
different people offered to provide this through their company's
teleconferencing solutions, providing that the organizers could put a
phone line in the room(s). They were told that it wasn't possible to do
that.
