It seems to me the actual IETF involvement here (and I got the invitation 
too, more than once) is that the list is hosted @ietf.org.  I wasn't aware 
that IETF hosted lists for discussion of things that might become WGs.  I 
see from https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/nwg_list.cgi that in fact 
there are quite a few, including this one.  But I also see that such 
things require AD approval.  So presumably the dix@ietf.org initiators 
submitted something to the apps-area ADs to support this list creation. 
It might have been nice for this invitation to have included this material 
and to have mentioned this step, in the interest of making clear the 
status of the activity.
