RE: VMs: Voynich Conference: preliminary description... [RFC!]

I don't know if anyone happens to know how one could set up a coordinated
video conference with at least one location on each continent or would
that be just as expensive a venture as everyone flying to one location.

able to work up a "gambler's" package from UK if you all take the same
rowboat? :-)
