Re: Strong objection to draft-ietf-WG-*.all noise levels

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

I was not understanding the problem, until I got 5 copies of the same 
notice about a draft this morning.
The notice was explicitly sent to draft.all, the working group, and the 
working group chairs.
So .all sent one to the chairs, the explicit chairs listing sent one to 
the chairs, and of course the chairs are on the working group list.

So part of the problem is that both chairs and the working group got 
listed in the notify line:
Send notices to:	[e-mail], 
[e-mail], [e-mail], 
[e-mail]

Since I doubt that my co-chair made that change, I presume tooling did 
so.  But listing the chairs and the working group is not actually 
helpful in most cases (I can imagine corner cases, but ...)

So I am not sure how it produced 5, but there does seem to be some truly 
unnecessary duplication here.

Yours,
Joel
