I second both Aphaia and Mark IRC is much better for communication but we do use regular phone call conferences between 2-3 users to communicate as well, I don't prefer to have large scale conferences through this method or Skype.

Concur with Markie. IRC has the larger capacity than skype and its client is free. If you mean the voice chat, instead of text base conversation, as a non native speaker of English, and as Transcom chair, regarding the potential translation, I strongly oppose to have our regular meeting on voice chat.

Look, would you consider using skype for some of these discussions?
I'm not really used to using it a lot but it would seem friendlier
than
IRC (by itself)
Have put a link to a Skypecast room I just set up, on this page

It could be left open all the time, if it's a useful thing. I can send
the
password if yu want.
hmm skype, comercial and requires downloads. also its not used by CPG
and
IMO irc is fine and is used by many people to communicate normally. you have also been informed before of the different options of how to use
IRC
and to me it just seems like you want to use this because its convienent
for
you but its not to me so hey we go round in circles, but why change??
