I think having an opt-in list of people who have agreed to IETF IPR policy would be better. As a document reviewer or anyone doing cross-area work, having to subscribe to a WG list to send mail there is quite unacceptable. Something like thew3c.org contribution policy stuff would be far more acceptable. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
