It is my experience that there are two basic reasons people add themselves to a new mailing list. Those what want the idea to succeed, and those that want the derail the process with their unending useless comments. I think it is important for people to be given an opportunity to succeed. On one topic that I participate in, there are people that like to criticize a document while providing no useful feedback and claiming some inspired unspoken better idea. I think that IETF mailing lists need to be able to be found and not announced until they feel they have a solid idea or draft This would mean that the IETF is a place to submit drafts and a place to connect with people that want to solve a common problem, Gray, Eric wrote:
I agree with Dave. Currently it is very difficult to get in on the early stages of a BoF, even if the subject of the BoF is of critical importance to your business or job. How does one find out - prior to attending a meeting - that a mailing list has been setup?
