Hannes, your question is in response to the assertion that the cost of 
adding the IETF Announce list is small.  Ignoring the apparent 
non-sequitor of your response, the nature of your question implies that 
you think it is not small.  Please explain.

At base, you want to treat conference calls according to different rules 
than f2f meetings.  What I haven't seen is a principled explanation from 
you that justifies this.  So:  what are the underlying principles that 
justify treating conference calls as different from other time-specific 
IETF interactions?
