FWIW, Michael, the "participate in more than one WG" point is a
large portion of the point I've been trying to make.

The other question I would ask is why that WG has never met at
an IETF meeting?  Would you and the participants not find value
in possible participation from those are are not heavily
involved or at least already on your mailing list?  Do you not
see that possible exposure of your work to more of the community
as worth the trouble?  That your work is so specialized that
other IETF participants are unlikely to be interested?  Or
something else?
