FWIW, I understand the dissonance, but disagree that BCP83
ought apply to anything other than mailing lists, as of now.
Chat rooms such as provided by zulip are an integral part of
meeting attendance (whether remote or in-person) and I don't
read BCP83 as encompassing controls as to who can attend
meetings. I do agree that if/when we revise BCP83 we ought
discuss this topic and make some changes though. (As I said
in the other thread, I hope we wait a year or more before
starting work on an update to BCP83.)

Cheers,
S.
