Hi Steve,
From my experience in the IETF, the main working group list is meant to
specifically address the rfc issues and to reach a consensus for the
proposed standards. Usually there is an additional, more general discussion
list, where people can freely discuss additional concepts or theories
regarding the marketing, implementation and/or "real life" experiences
involved with the proposed standards.
From my experience it would greatly help the working group, and reduce the
load in the main list, if we will have an additional list side by side with
the main list. I had checked this issue with our web administrators, and it
would be possible to host this list for the working group.
