I attend a spooky meeting. No, really: let me explain. It is a meeting of the IP Administrators’ Committee. Along with several other committee members, I am attending by phone. And the phone decides that it would be fun to move the entire conference into a sort of virtual echo chamber. This imparts a séance-like quality to the meeting, as though people were speaking from another world. It is creepy. When we get to the item about the 2017 CIPA Congress, I am not sure if we will be using our organisational skills to plan it or our psychic skills to predict it. After a while, people get fed up with the echo. Much as many of us like the sounds of our own voices, we do not like them enough to hear them repeated back at us from The Other Side. Mr Mische is dispatched to set up a new teleconference, which is more suitable for use by the living.
