Re: Let's pretend Re: Guidance needed: Resource Providers acceptable practices?

Stef sez:
I am strenuously opposed to the idea of centralizing all WG mailing
lists under Sercertariat control.  This would require procedures for
approval and delays in decision making, and involve grey area cases
for BOFS before they hold their first BOF, etc, et al, ad nauseum.

Mailing list

An IETF working group MUST have a general Internet mailing list.

. . .

3. The location of the mailing list archive. A message archive MUST be
maintained in a public place which can be accessed via FTP or via the web.
The address "[e-mail]" MUST be included in the mailing list in
order that a copy of all mailing list messages is sent to an archive at the
IETF Secretariat. There is an archive of a number of working group mailing
lists at ftp.ietf.org/ietf-mail-archives. This is a service offered by the
IETF Secretariat but it does not eliminate the need for each WG to maintain
their own set of archives.  NOTE: In keeping with the general IETF rule for
openness, the membership of the mailing list must be made available.
