Independent of the RG/WG question, I think it might be useful to
have more face-to-face meetings, or at least regular telecons. 
Maybe having WG meetings at the IETF meetings would help, but I
don't think it's a prerequisite.

In my experience, email threads often devolve into discussions of
all the ways we don't agree, while realtime or face-to-face
discussions are more productive in building consensus for things on
which we do agree (or at least agree to disagree and move on).
