This question seems to come up all the time. Here is some stuff from a
post about a month ago. It gives the port and protocol info. The
security risks depend upon your individual situation. Since it is an
unknown protocol and needs to open up the high ports, I would consider
it a risk.

I have included a portion of the text from one of Microsoft's
KnowledgeBse articles. You can find the article at:

---- Text of article ----

Microsoft Netmeeting 2.0 uses several secondary TCP and UDP ports to
communicate. To allow NetMeeting to communicate fully, the following
ports need to be enabled on the WinSock portion of the Proxy Server: 

      389       Internet Locator Server
      522       User Location Server
      1503      T.120 Protocol
      1720      H.323 call setup (TCP)
      1731      Audio call control (TCP)
      Dynamic   H.323 Call Control (TCP)
      Dynamic   H.323 streaming (RTP over UDP)


 
      Port or Range       Type      Direction
      -------------       ----      ---------

      389                 TCP       Inbound
      389                 TCP       OutBound
      522                 TCP       Inbound
      522                 TCP       Outbound
      1025-65535          TCP       Inbound
      1025-65535          TCP       Outbound
      1025-65535          UDP       Inbound
      1025-65535          UDP       Outbound
