[technology taskforce] Webconferencing tools matrix - requires update

Sat Nov 3 02:34:34 UTC 2018

Thanks, Chris. I look forward to Mark Segal's update in due course.

The other thing about the matrix that needs editing is to include when
(time period) the different solutions were/are tested because as we all
know providers update their solutions from time to time, so our records
could well be outdated (as Tracy alluded to).
