Hi Brian,
The point is that we work in public, so the whole community should
know.
Working group mailing lists are also public.
I regularly attend WG meetings where I am not subscribed - it's one of
the
side benefits of the week-long meetings - and who's to say that I might
not
want to drop into OAuth too?
Are you talking about IETF meetings? I am talking about conference calls here.
Are you regularly joining conference calls of working groups where you are not subscribed to the mailing lists?
I belive you're drawing a distinction between conference call and
virtual interim which does not presently exist. It could, but doesn't.
Suppose I happened to notice (I am making this up) that the foobar WG
has
decided to use the IPv6 Flow Label for an unintended purpose? I'd like
to know if they are going to have a conf call, so that I can explain
RFC 6437 to them. Otherwise, I have no interest in foobar.
How would you find this out from the announcement of the conference call given that the agenda does not have to announced at the same time? (unless you join every conference call to figure out whether there is something of interest for you?)
Ciao
