I'm late to this discussion (out in the field all day; sorry), and the point is likely moot by this time of the day, but I think the only reason we're currently doing it as a meeting is that that's all I had access to via my institutional account. Nothing deliberate about it. We don't have webinar capability; but doubtless GSW can fix it in the fall w/ a webinar capable subscription.

There are several ways of not doing the 8 pm lock. What Liz proposes is one. There are others (a moderator lets people in) that also work. I don’t have strong feelings about which is best, but certainly what Liz proposes is a viable path forward.

I am not sure we can make any changes for tonight's meeting, but let's discuss this afternoon. The element that I see we would miss is the social interaction before the actual meeting starts, unless the format can be switched from a regular Zoom meeting to a webinar format at 8 pm. Does anyone know whether Zoom allows for that switch in the middle of a session? Thank you, and see you all this afternoon, Ester.

I do not think we should run GSW meetings as Zoom meetings, locked to admission after 8pm. We should be running Zoom Webinars, with public links, that allow people to join late. With tight controls, these cannot be zoom bombed. They allow for excellent Q&A and chat. The moderator and presenters have all the control. The only difference is that you don’t see the other participants videos and people cannot vocally chime in. You can type in. Smithsonian is running all their public programs via Zoom Webinar, with publicly visible links. There have been no issues. These events have been recorded and available after the fact too. I know, from feedback I’ve received, that many people find it difficult to join right at 8pm (people with dependent care, for example). I am not the person organizing the meetings, so I have no right to push this. I am very grateful for those organizing. Thank you! I only hope to make everyone aware that we have other options.
