Here are some recommendations on the online meeting technology. The biggest issue with online meetings is echoing feedback. Normally SWAN mutes all participants and utilizes chat and will unmute individuals. I do not believe OMA permits that sort of arrangement—everyone must be unmuted.

Online Recommendations

Mobile phone with a headset such as those with earbuds and a microphone is best
Computer/laptop with a headset through a USB or even a headphone jack with a microphone is best
Computer audio speakers will 100% cause feedback, which will require us to mute you

I recommend you all test the link I sent below if you are going to use the online version. Dawne will manage the online access during the meeting.
