(1) Integration with, or generally use of, GitHub as a place to

difficult if not impossible. I don't think it's possible to put that
back in its bag at this point.
IMO github has made it much more difficult for participants to follow a
discussion, since they essentially have to follow it in multiple
places. I see advantages to github but only in late stages of a
document's evolution, when most of the activity is "wordsmithing".
(2) The diversity of opinions makes me think we should consider
allowing working group chairs to decide for their working groups
whether, and how long, an embargo should last.
I disagree. I think it makes it even more difficult for IETF
participants when every WG essentially has its own rules, and that's to
IETF's detriment in general.
