I think we have to start somewhere, so starting with some base case - 
say just email - makes more sense than trying every tool right off the bat.

Or _maybe_ email and some sort of shared editor that can keep track of 
what's been concluded. but even then we need to have some discipline for 
what to put where.   Also, if we use multiple tools without some kind of 
integration between them I don't think we'll find that collection of 
tools very useful.   Sometimes even when sticking to one tool - say 
slack - I find that the information that emerges from the discussion is 
so scattered that it's nearly unusable.

I also am loathe to use third-party tools that track my activity, and 
would not want to see IETF adopt such tools.  So, for instance, google 
anything is (IMO) not appropriate.

We should decide what kind of tools we need rather than insisting on 
shoehorning our activity into existing tools.   And I'm not aware of an 
existing tool that would do the job well.
