Final Instructions for Keynoters, Moderators and Scheduled Speakers
Final instructions for all Moderators, Keynoters and scheduled speakers are noted here.
PLEASE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THE FOLOWING:
1. Everyone should take time to visit the GLD HOME page which is found at http://www.bfranklin.edu
2. From that page, on the left hand side bar you will find links to every Major Segment of this event, starting with Opening Ceremonies and the following the “route of the Voyage” around the world. Click on the region where you are participating.
3. On that page you will find links to the UTC repeat UTC time clock which you should be guided on. If there are an errors in what we have calculated with times that are relevant to the Segment, then be guided by the GMT schedule - also noted on the FranklinHomePage.
THE TELEPHONE ROOM NUMBER IS + 1 603 413 8003
4. A minimum of 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appearance you should telephone our the GLD room. The quality of the voices there is generally better using a “regular” Plain Old Telephone. However the cost from outside the USA can be large so many will use Skype to call directly to the phone room. If you select Skype you will have to pay a few pennies a minute.
The TEXT CHAT ROOM
5. Speakers are strongly encouraged to join the TEXT CHAT well in advance of your engagement. Questions and comments from the audience will come there and, when fielded nicely, usually by the moderator, but also by others in your Segment, make for a great conversation that people really like to listen to!
6. You can also listen for free on the GLD audio stream. You can find instructions on how to point your browser to that stream here. You should have Windows Media Player installed and “ready to go”. An alternative stream with “plays” with a Real Media player will also be available. Check here for more instructions.
