That's what got me upset over that aspect; if it had started out "I and a few other friends have this great idea that we're pushing in the IETF, and we want to meet to talk about it", I'd only have been upset about the method, not the content.
It seems to me the actual IETF involvement here (and I got the invitation too, more than once) is that the list is hosted @ietf.org. I wasn't aware that IETF hosted lists for discussion of things that might become WGs. I see from https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/nwg_list.cgi that in fact there are quite a few, including this one. But I also see that such things require AD approval. So presumably the dix@xxxxxxxx initiators submitted something to the apps-area ADs to support this list creation. It might have been nice for this invitation to have included this material and to have mentioned this step, in the interest of making clear the status of the activity.
