My thinking was permanently. A wg can then at any time decide to take some specific issue to jabber. AFAIK the previous jabber rooms were available permanently, and I wouldn't be surprised if the new ones (rooms.jabber.ietf.org) are either. So all I would like to ask, is that this is done. It would then be up to the individual wg whether they want to make use of them. Apart from using the jabber rooms for ad-hoc discussions, they should also be used for interim wg meetings of course.
