Abstract	Isabel is a P2P like multipoint group collaboration tool for the Internet, which implements an innovative service concept for synchronous collaborations based on a flexible and programmable floor control. This approach leads to a more natural and effective management of collaboration sessions. The flexible and programmable floor control incorporates the experience gained in many years of service trials with real users in distributed conferences, classrooms or meetings. The main conclusion after all those trials is that services should use more or less the same media components (audio, video or application sharing), but differ in the floor control model used. The flexible floor control is especially well suited for multipoint audience interconnection in distributed classrooms, conferences, meetings, etc. The development of Isabel started in 1993 for the distribution of the RACE Summer Schools on Advanced Broadband Communication (ABC93-6) where the early versions of this service concept were developed and tuned. The effectiveness of the Isabel service concept has been proven and enhanced since then in many other distributed events, such as Global360x, IDC9x, Global IPv6 Summitts, Telecom I+D, etc. The adaptation of Isabel to the broadband Internet (including VPNs, IPv4/IPv6 transition scenarios, mixtures of unicast and multicast) has reached maturity recently
