Some IONs have been mentioned a few times. See these search results, for instance. http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&client=google-coop-np&cof=AH%3Aleft%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.ietf.org%2F%3BCX%3AIETF%2520%2526%2520IRTF%2520Mailing%2520List%2520Search%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fietf.org%2Fimages%2Fietflogo2f.gif%3BLH%3A100%3BLP%3A1%3BGFNT%3A%23666666%3BDIV%3A%23cccccc%3B&adkw=AELymgVmPhm6xOxqVYYkLfBhjlELCLKCNQ0MPgwdQ0YYMMlbPd1rUYSeqxsu4ZwC8EzV_JAjgaE_RNl1WM42lnF9xaa_CbZjt_ghkmydtVLy5Mxr_9Vrdq19SPdf3Gl5Pe3QiF1xGEsu&q=ion-ad-sponsoring&btnG=Search&cx=006728497408158459967%3Aybxjdw-bjjw I have also given the AD sponsoring ION link to a fair number of people in the context of them thinking about submitting some documents to the IESG from outside WGs. And I would hope the Discuss criteria ION gets used. I.e., not much use/discussion but some. Personally, I think we should keep the concept.
