Choosing to charge for things like I-D authorship or mailing list
posting (or subscription) carries some practical challenges.
If we charged for subscription, we'd have to make sure that the archives
became available for free eventually; otherwise we're a lot less open to
peer review. Even with that, charging for subscription sounds like a
nightmare; we'd have people missing important messages because their
credit cards expired at just the wrong time.
Charging for posting will reduce feedback from outside the WG. Besides,
it sounds a lot like solving the spam problem. ;-)
