At the scheduled end time of a meeting, if callers remain in the meeting,
MeetingPlace compares the number of ports necessary to extend the meeting
with the other scheduled meetings on the system. If ports are available, the
system automatically extends the meeting by the amount of time specified by
the system configuration. The system announces to participants in the
meeting that their meeting has been extended by [n] minutes.

Increasing the Number of Ports for a Meeting in Progress
If a meeting scheduler calls from within a meeting asking you to increase the
number of ports for the meeting, tell the caller that, after a meeting has
started, the number of participants scheduled for the meeting cannot be
altered. However, the dynamic nature of port allocation on MeetingPlace
allows additional callers to join a meeting in progress, if there are available
ports on the system.
