[Cc'ing to architecture-discuss, because this reply goes beyond the scope of chirp.] Stephen, *: I don't think that a mailing list alone is a sufficient way to encourage interested parties to invest significant amount of cycles to contribute original work towards a subject even if as a one off: document and/or presentation. If you want people to invest cycles towards something you're interested in, you need to give contributors a well defined opportunity to engage in-person through a meeting (or virtual meeting in the time of corona) and allowing the work invested to be referenceable by future work of others (such as meeting proceedings for presentations). We have this mode of operations in hundreds of conferences including IRTF, we have it in IETF WGs for standards, we do not have this for architectural discussions for the Internet. Why not ? Stephen, I know we may have a fundamental difference in opinion about this if i correctly interpret your harsh criticism about my teams organized inofficial side-meeting in march, but i for once don't think that a discussion about internet architecture will magically improve through the absence of such meetings. Why is there no internet architecture discuss meeting slot in every IETF meeting (virtual in times of corona) ? I can not even start to comprehend why i am seemingly the only one asking this question. To me, providing such fairly open scoped meeting looks like the most fundamental meeting the IAB should organize to engage the community in an open fashion. Consider it the "dispatch" equivalent of other areas. Topics of special interest to IAB (such as chirp) could be indicated as prioritized topics to encourage contribution to them, and if they show critical mass the could be dispatched into separate forums. I can see no outcome worse than what we seemingly have now on this architecture-discuss mailing list: agony and inactivity interrupted by often snide lecturing meta discussions about those who attempt to contribute something, however well or badly that is done.
