Hi Hannes,

Why do we need to announce conference calls (or Jabber chats) on the
IETF announce mailing list? How likely is it that someone cares
about a working group effort, does not subscribe to the WG mailing
list, has not seen a poll about the date and time, and wants to
participate in the conference call? To me - this seems rather unlikely.
There are people contributing to a working group who are not
subscribed to the mailing list. There are probably people who are
not actively following a working group who might attend a conference call.
Could we please change that?
Sending an email through ietf-announce@ is not that much work [1]
[2]. If you broadcast the announcement to the entire community it's
public. You don't have to worry about the questions you asked above
or conspiracy theories.
