Its going to have to, and we have already spent far too much time in the last months discussing this and scheduling things to re-open it now. This would have been a good argument to bring up over a month ago, but I'm sorry its too late now to do this. > People use irc and if, say the release team holds a bof there, there will > surely be someone on irc requesting to turn on the video, as the video setup > is there and that person wants to participate.

Ok, I believe you it did not work, and that you expect this again in the future. If someone comes on IRC and requests that the video is turned on, too bad. Its reasonable for them to request it, and reasonable for it to be denied. Don't stress about it, don't stretch yourselves by not agreeing to do it. Its a hard line, but it must be drawn. It seems to me that the break down has been the video team caving to these last minute requests, rather than sticking to a "NO". So, you are going to have to change that, not all of debconf. micah
