I would suggest that teleconferences be limited to a minimum, following <http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter>, which says:
Teleconferences: up to 1 per week, as needed
My expectation would be that no teleconferences are ever needed, as it is a terrible medium for discussing technical issues. In particular, no WG decisions should ever be taken in a teleconference, as that would force everyone to call in at the right time and listen to an hour of hissing/bubbling sounds just to have their vote count.
I think it bears repeating that IETF WG are supposed to make decisions by rough consensus, not votes, and WG decisions are supposed to be made / confirmed on the WG mailing list. So, from the standpoint of making decisions, teleconferences are not needed. They can, however, be very useful. Regards Marshall
