Yes, that could be one way of integrating.   I think it takes some thought
as to what would be useful & what would feel comfortable to IETFers.

Exactly.  If there's interest,  maybe we can brainstorm a bit.

When I was on the IESG I tried to remember to hang out there when my jabber

it was very rare for anyone else to be there and over a couple of years I
