How Can People Share Meeting Materials? 
With MeetingNotes, users can submit “attachments” to a meeting via 
MeetingTime or MeetingPlace Web. These attachments can be agendas, 
presentations, or other related documents submitted anytime before, during, 
or after a meeting. Once attachments to a meeting are submitted, 
MeetingPlace provides several ways for users to access them. 
For users who are connected to the local area network (LAN) or wide area 
network (WAN), MeetingTime enables any other meeting participant to 
download the attachments to their own computers to follow along during a 
meeting. 
Users without MeetingTime access can dial in using the touchtone phone 
and request e-mail copies of the associated attachments “on demand”. 
If the MeetingPlace Notification Option is installed, MeetingPlace can 
automatically send copies of the documents via e-mail to meeting 
participants as the attachments are submitted. 
If MeetingPlace Web is installed, users with access to the Internet or their 
company’s intranet can click meeting attachment icons or hypertext links to 
the documents that are posted with the associated MeetingPlace meeting. 
What If People Cannot Attend? 
If MeetingNotes is installed, people who cannot attend a meeting can 
contribute by submitting attachments or voice comments to the meeting. 
Voice comments provide an easy way for people to submit their thoughts to a 
meeting from any touchtone phone. 
During the meeting, participants can choose to record all or portions of 
meetings for invitees who cannot attend. People who missed the meeting can 
then dial into MeetingNotes, enter the date and meeting ID for the 
conference, and access the recording. They can also access all of the related  
meeting materials and comments associated with the meeting. 
If MeetingPlace Web is installed, users can connect to the Meeting Details 
Page, which provides information for meetings including the meeting 
recording, voice comments, and attached documents. Users click icons to 
listen to popular recording formats such as WAV, RealAudio, or MP3. 
How Secure Are Meetings? 
With MeetingPlace, you can discuss confidential information without 
worrying about security. Meetings can be protected on several different 
levels.
