Re: [arch-d] iesg: Re: Updates on IAB mailing lists

If the intent is that the list is specific to IAB activities (as I said in
my response, that wasn't the intent in the past), then you all should
update the description.  Personally, I think it's a handy list to have for
purely technical discussions as opposed to all the non-technical
discussions on the main IETF discussion list.
