Why not to add an "annoucement" menu on the IETF page. Where announces could be presented in a mechanism similar to Drafts (with anouncements for information and some kind of sponsoring for key meeting/announces). With at least three keys (per WG, per Topics, per Location). This could only help outreach, Members to meet f2f locally and cross-WG information. Also, this could be contracted to ISOC or another party to run the commercial announces in a commercial way (products announces, commercial events, etc.) and get most probably substantial financial resources for the RFC Editor. In using an RSS I do not think it would impose an extra worthless reading on the Members and could help a lot keeping abreast without having to scan scores of blogs and mailing lists.
