No, IRC has never cost anything. If your ISP was charging to use IRC then
they were ripping people off and anyway you can get on IRC using the Java
interface if you have web access.

As a member of the BLP Task Force I'd be delighted to receive suggestions in
any way. Having an IRC meeting is just one way in which to discuss issues
but it's helpful to have a real time chat. (What's not helpful is having one
at 2 AM; no-one's going to be able to make every time suggested but perhaps
we could have another in European daytime)
