As someone who has only attended by phone (and in the IRC "peanut
gallery" as it were), I've not gotten the sense that I was missing
anything available only to webex participants. I'm pleased by that
so far and would personally love to see us, as a project and as a
community, stop appearing as if we're recommending proprietary,
commercial software/services for participation... particularly for
something as high-profile as board meetings.
