We can assume it is the moderator for now.

A long lived conference is one that runs for months (chat sessions on the internet seem to run for that long). They are not repeated, but instead are constantly running.

An administrator, for maintenance reasons, might want to de-activate a conference for a short period of time.

Of course the administrator can kick everyone out by sending them BYE requests and redefining the conference start time. But it has the disadvantage that the inactivity time for maintenance cannot be scheduled. Do we want to be able to schedule such event for long lived conferences?

Hisham
