For large conference calls, I highly recommend Zoom. (https://zoom.us). It actually works for large conference calls. Wikimedia DC uses it all the time and it is very effective. It is proprietary, but so is Google Hangout. (I do not have a good solution to *that* problem.)
Note that zoom limits the length of a meeting to 40 mins for free accounts initiating the session. But yes, in general I find zoom to be better than h-o too.
As for the move off of IRC part, I think it's a good idea to try to experiment with a different format and see if that fulfils the needs better. If it doesn't, we can always revert to the old one. Note that the format itself is not new in our circles; we have had various types of events that went in parallel on h-o, youtube and IRC and I would say they worked well.
My 2 cents, Marko

+1 to this being inconvenient. I don't always attend arch com meetings, but usually do if I happen to be online during the time. If its a hangout, it is extremely unlikely I would attend unless I was specifically proposing an RFC.
Proprietary and capped at 25 participants? No thank you.
Piling on. I hate hangouts for small meetings with like 5 people, much less a large group. They're *awful*
The 25 participant problem should make the whole idea a non-starter for this.
