Hello,
those of you who have issues with the phone line, here's another approach that seems to work fairly well - dialling in to the confcall via Google Hangouts:

Hear you in an hour,

Might be a couple of minute late, but I will join for sure.
That turned out really good 
thanks for the tip ! It'd be nice to
try to congregate as many as possible on-line with video in the hang-out
and call into talkyo only for recording / land-line users I think (?).
Thanks,
Michael.
Room for ESC call to do something similar? Also, just a quick question, are
board meetings public? (in other words, could I listen in?)
Best,
Joel
Hi,

thanks for trying! So, what we can do indeed is that someone opens the Hangout, invites all the other board members, plus adds the talkyoo number to link in those who are on a phone. Calling US numbers (which talkyoo offers as well) is free via Google.

IMHO, the ESC confcall system also offers an US number, so the same thing could work.
Board calls are public, everyone can join: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_Meetings

Yep - I'd love to migrate us to a google hangout; we should get some
quality webcam hardware for everyone to make that easier.

People are encouraged to join in, submit items, and turn up - of
course; the meeting is announced ahead of time with all the dial-in
numbers etc. well in advance be good to hear you there.
ATB,
Michael.

from a technical POV, also a good headset comes in handy, to avoid the echoe... Otherwise, sure, why not combine both elements, classical phone and Google Hangouts.
