Perry,

  Personaly I think you guys at ISOC, CORE, and IAHC, should be paid
a stiphen of some sort.  In fact i would recomend that highly.  As to
making confrence calls.  Done properly using good webphone
teleconfrencing
software that cost should be nearly nothing.  We produce a API interface
which allows for the connection to 11 diffrent webphone products.  I
would
be happy to donate the software to the IAHC, CORE, and ISOC members and
the org's.  All others of course will have to pay.  You can confrence 
in as many as 250 people.  

Regards,
