I agree that ietf@xxxxxxxx is a good starting point, but I think one needs to
take a bit of a shotgun to a half-dozen other MLs to let people know you are
thinking of something. ietf@xxxxxxxx is not universally read, alas.
Also making use of Any-of-Other-Business section of other virtual interims to
talk briefly about things. I wouldn't be afraid of babbling about such
things in the jabber, DURING (virtual) meetings, but also in hallway@
Our new tradition of "dispatch" areas is also a good thing.
People write drafts, and it might be that intentionally invoking Cunningham's
Law is a good idea.
