[MB] It was the ADs that suggested the topic was to be discussed on the RAI
list. But, you are absolutely correct, there are about 200 more people on
the DISPATCH list. However, as I regularly state there are some periodic
discussions on the RAI list that are also of interest so folks really
should consider subscribing to that one:
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rai
For example, Gonzalo started a RAI process discussion a while back:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rai/current/msg01372.html
And, Richard posted an important reminder note about deadlines for IETF-89:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rai/current/msg01430.html

BTW, it's a Friday (today!) for the first time that I can recall in case
anyone was thinking it was another Monday deadline as usual.

I think in one sense, we've ended up with DISPATCH serving as a RAI Area WG
since we don't have the latter.  This "new" process has now been in place
for 5 years, so maybe it is time to reconsider how the area is organized.
 But, of course that discussion should happen on the RAI list and involve
the ADs ;)
