Weekly teleconference: every Wednesday, 12:00 UTC

The number for all calls on W3C Zakim bridge is +1.617.761.6200 (US) or +33.4.89.06.34.99 (France); then enter conference passcode 3724# ("FRAG#"). If you can't get into the bridge, dial *0 to speak to the operator — they can manually connect you. Zakim allows participants to mute themselves by pressing 61# ("M" for mute, then "1" for on) and unmute themselves with 60#.

It is possible to participate in MediFrag meetings by telephone alone but participants' interaction is substantially improved by also joining the #mediafrag irc channel or using the IRC Web interface (see also the comprehensive help for IRC). The group makes use of the following agents: zakim, rrsagent, and tracker. The RIF Working Group pages for teleconference participants are recommended:
