[ETS/PARC List] Using "Zoom"

[William Russell]

I think it would be good to use Zoom. We are using at our business with customer committees to do construction print approvals.  I do believe there is a small fee if you get a version that allows more than 10 people in the meeting and go longer than 50 or 60 minutes.

I know there was a comment about possible jamming with a on air meeting.  A Zoom meeting would eliminate that.
