Hi, Someone here should at least mention that the IETF Secretariat is generally willing to host official IETF WG mailing lists @ietf.org. This was implied by the quoted text above, but isn't explicitly documented anyplace I can find. An increasing number of WGs are hosting lists there. I don't know the Secretariat's processes, but if some WG Chair wanted an official IETF WG list to live @ietf.org, the logical first step would be a gentle enquiry with the IETF Secretariat. Last comment is that, after some discussion among IAB + IESG about IETF mailing lists last Summer, I wrote up a strawman draft on "IETF Mailing List Customs". My understanding is that Jim Galvin is the current document editor for that, though I'm not sure because I'm not tracking that item closely these days. (No point asking me for a copy of the strawman, because I no longer have a copy). <opinion> I do think we ought to at least document current IETF mailing list practices in a BCP RFC. </opinion> Cheers, Ran rja@extremenetworks.com
