Otherwise the BoF wouldn't even be scheduled. For proponents asking that a WG adopt some new work (or re-charter so that it can adopt the new work), it is also almost always the case that the work has been discussed on the list, as the WG chairs would be remiss to schedule any discussion of new work at a meeting that was not discussed on the list. Thus I feel this thread is a bit much ado about not much unless there are WG chairs making bad agenda decisions. Nico --
