I feel pretty strongly about not giving meeting time to topics/ documents that have had no mailing list discussion prior to the meeting[*]. It doesn't have to be elaborate but I do think authors need to provide a pointer to a document along with a description of the problem they're trying to solve (along with a description of their proposed solution, if applicable). If nothing else it's a more reliable way to gauge interest across a broader and more representative set of participants than polling the people who happened to show up for a given working group session. Melinda * to be clear, IETF working groups are under discussion here, not IRTF research groups.
