Fred, I am not convinced that social nets (proprietary or not) are yet a good tool to do IETF work. They are good to communicate one-way and some informal two-ways, but that's all (at least for now) What I had in mind was something very simple such that the IETF chair could do is to automatically post to twitter, facebook, etc whenever there is a new post from his blog and receive from communication using those tools (besides the comments in the blog). But that is all. About using an open social net approach I think there could be some value but not sure if we are there yet, I will give it some thoughts anyhow and how it could be done.

Take careful notes of what proportion of the indicated community (if the IPv6 Operations WG, for example, the participants in v6ops) join the discussions, and what contribution those discussions make. Think about archives, focused issue discussion (what SMTP readers call "threads"), and so on. Then write a draft documenting the outcome of that.
