Hi,

thanks for the feedback!

we discussed that (at length) in the IESG. There were very different opinions on which content should remain on ietf-announce and which should be moved elsewhere. I think I've seen signs in the feedback thread that there are probably very different views on that in the broader community as well. Hence the decision to propose a new mailing list.

Thanks,
Lars
