Many of us have been including it when we remember and are easily reminded to include it in the next update when we do not. Reminding people is probably a good idea. Including an explicit placeholder for this in templates would probably be a good idea. It would make a good habit. But there are circumstances in which the appropriate mailing list is not known at the time of posting and others in which permission to use an obvious mailing list requires pre-approval that might significantly delay posting of a draft. What we don't need, IMO, is more rules, especially rules that would then need exception procedures, open up opportunities for appeals about approval processes and the use of particular lists, etc. john _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
