Hi.
Even with the "sorry, something went wrong" at the end of this
note and the posted revision 18 minutes later (with that apology
removed), are we really allowing a WG Interim meeting to be held
less than 19 hours after its announcement to the IETF Announce
list?

Unless I hear otherwise from Magnus, we are going ahead with this meeting, which has been scheduled and discussed on the working group list for weeks.


There is an obvious matter of principle

It is it not clear to me what principle you are referring to.

because

people who are
interested in the WG's work but might not have been actively
participating on its mailing list

I accept that there are interested people who are not actively participating.

However, I'm having trouble understanding how someone interested in the work of the working group can totally avoid reading the working group list. Color me skeptical.


(assuming there more notice on
that list)

It has.

might not be able to arrange attendance with that
sort of notice. 

If there are such people, I want to offer them my apologies.

Equally important, there has been an extended
discussion of some of the directions of NFS on another list that
might reasonably justify a summary or discussion on the agenda
but presumably cannot be proposed given this short notice.

I'm unaware of any such discussion.  The appropriate way to make the working group aware of it would be to send mail to the working group list. This still should.be done.
While you might want a slot on the agenda, it might not be available, even if you had been reading the working group list when this meeting was first discussed.

If it should have been announced earlier but slipped through
that cracks that is regrettable but should still not, at least
IMO, be justification for going ahead with a meeting on such
short notice.

My opinion is different.  I cannot see delaying at this point and inconveniencing the working group members, who have been preparing for this meeting for some time. This is especially so since our AD's vacation schedule is such that the next opportunity to meet would be in September.



thanks,
