I think it really depends on what the point of announcing the mailing list is. If it's to hook up people who are interested in working on/reading about/taking shots at some prospective piece of work it doesn't seem to me to be too much to ask to include a brief description in the announcement. I'll add that I do feel rather strongly about IETF work being hosted on IETF assets, but the point at which something becomes "IETF work" is admittedly rather fuzzy. Melinda
