What are appropriate Rules of Order for conference calls? I am the parliamentarian for an organization's board. We use conference calls for some meetings, as allowed by our by-laws.

Ideally it should: -have noise cancellation, to get rid of wind and background noise -a mute button, for when I'm just listening - a mini-usb charging port, so I don't have to carry around another cable
About how much of time spent in meetings/conference calls is an abject waste of time? Yesterday we had a meeting about a needlessly complex and un-needed revision to a certain evaluation metric. Over an hour was wasted trying to explain something that was changed, that didn't need to be changed. Most of the time, conference calls and meetings are led by some mediocre, corporate douche bag who likes to hear him or herself speak. Would you not agree? I delivered pizzas in college and it was a much more rewarding field.
What is the best company for international conference calls? I work for a not-for-profit organization. We have offices in Shanghai, Mexico, Canada and South Africa. We have a conference call with all offices around once a month. As you can imagine, it gets very expensive. We have been using Bell Canada. My managers are wary of VOIP as they have not had good luck with things like Skype/etc. So has anyone used any traditional conference calling companies other than Bell? Any that are great (ie. good international rates) or any to avoid? Thanks!

How do we get rid of feedback in audio conference calls? My sisters and I have tried to activate a three-way (or possibly four-way) conference call. When ever we are all on line, with the "Hands free" activated, we get some horrible squawking feedback. Is there a way to eliminate the feedback. There are other activities going on in the rooms where the computers are located.
Email alerts for quarterly and annual conference calls? I follow a number of stocks, and I'd like to listen in on their quarterly and annual conference calls as they happen. However, most times I don't find out about these until after they happen. Is there any service where I can get email alerts or summaries of upcoming investor conference calls for a specific set of stocks? I'd like to put in, say, GOOG, AAPL, GS, and HANS, and either a) get an email a day ahead of time or so, or b) a web page I could visit to easily see the times? I don't want to have to check all the individual company websites all the time to figure it out. Thanks!
Anyone aware of a cordless phone appropriate for 2-3 hours conference calls on speaker phone? My home office doesn't have a phone jack and I attend 2-3 hours long conference calls while on speaker phone. The problem with the additional units on my regular cordless phone is that they run out of battery after 30-40 minute on speaker-phone. Desktop speaker phones would solve the power problem since they are hooked up but I believe they all need a phone jack - so that wont do. What can I do? Looking for a low cost solution. Thank you

What VoIP software does conference calls? I need four things in a VoIP software client. 1) Must do conference calling (multiple phone calls). 2) Must be easy to use, or is able to work with other services. 3) Must either be cross-platform, or has clients for Windows, Linux, and Mac. 4) GPL or similar licensing preferred. I know Skype can do conference calls, is relatively easy, and has clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux -- but it's not Free Software. Google Talk is free, but does not have a Mac or Linux client. Jabbin does not support conference calls.

Teens, Would you prefer a free telephone conference call or a podcast on "How to lose weight without dieting"? I have a weight loss company for teens and want to do a free call or podcast for teens on "How to lose weight without Dieting." I'm wondering what would be better, a free conference call or a podcast. I appreciate any answers. The following are examples of problems I help teens resolve in order to lose weight (it is not a typical weight loss program). Do I eat for emotional or external reasons (boredom, procrastination, lonliness, sadness, body dissatisfaction, even happiness, because the food tastes so good, because my friends and family want me to eat, because food is expensive so I have to eat it all, because children are starving in the world, etc.) Do I eat to cope with stress? Do I binge eating? Is it possible for me to feel fabulous about myself at my current weight as I am losing? Our mission is to help teens to stop dieting (it only works for 1 of 100) and how to permanently solve their problems of excess weight. Thanks! Kim Hiatt, Ph.D. http://www.thinfromwithinkids.co

Can't figure out how to input the digits for the bridge number after entering the 1-800 number for the conference call. Where's the keypad?!

However it was done via conference call, with my replacement there with me, and another manager, that knew ahead of time.

Does anyone know where you can get company earnings conference calls in mp3 format? I can listen to the thomson.com site reports but they're all streaming which means I'm forced to stay by my computer and get sleepy. If I could put those reports on my mp3 player, I could work out at the gym and stay busy while listening. Zachs.com has a few, but just a few. Thanks for those links, that's not going to do it though, those only work with youtube and a few others. These streaming files located on the servers at thomson.com and what not are protected. I need an actual site that has the mp3 files ready to download of those conference calls.
