[web-team] Re: Meeting report: no microphones

[Steve Traugott]

Y'know, the fact that the wrong person is listed as Cisco rep on the
web page is likely a factor in why I wasn't able to get the microphone
situation resolved at the Jan meeting.  I couldn't figure out who to
talk to, didn't have any panic button that I could push...  so after
10 minutes of waiting for something to happen, we pressed on without
sound.

I have no idea if Tracy was even there that night, don't even know
what he looks like.  Thought I was looking for Ranga.
