A web and voice conference tool is now available for ISO meetings. The tool is expected to make an important contribution to the work of technical committees and save valuable time and resources.
Web conferencing allows people with an internet connection to join a meeting from their computer. With the new ISO Web and voice conferencing tool – GoToMeeting (www.gotomeeting.com) – users can make presentations, view and work on documents, and share information displayed on their screens and saved in their computers, in a secure online environment.
The voice conference option allows users to actively talk to each other. ISO offers a free call back option. This means that participants can join the meeting from anywhere in the world and the telephone charges are paid by ISO.
To set up a Web and voice conference for your committee, send an e-mail with your meeting details to tcsupport@iso.org. Up to 20 people can participate. But careful, this must be done at least three weeks in advance. A reply will be sent 10 days prior to the conference with all necessary details e.g. PIN, telephone number, dedicated URL and helpful guidance.
There are an estimated seven ISO meetings held each day somewhere in the world. Already dozens of meetings have been held with GoToMeeting, and the number continues to grow!
