I'm not sure how easy > it would be to do that. Actually, Rob, what I think I've observed is that the really long, tedious, threads on which many people have opinions and feel a need to express them multiple times are typically about procedural issues, with many, if not most, derived from documents in Last Call. So maybe three lists rather than two or maybe we should push the procedural and administrative discussions off into an "ietf-procedures" list and keep the technical discussions and Last Calls on the IETF one. And I told someone who wrote me off-list, I'm not sure the above is a serious suggestion, but it is another way in which I think we should be thinking clearly about what we are doing and its implications. > I do think email provides a nice escape hatch if there's an > edge case where it's not clear which list is best: CC both > lists. Hopefully, that will be rare. Prior experience suggests that it often leads to parallel discussions that don't quite synchronize as some people post to one list, some to the other, and some to both. best, john
