Actually, I think that the IAOC should post all correspondence, and I
don't think that this is an onerous requirement.  It is not likely that
there will be all that much non-electronic communication, such
communication is typically important (sent to meet legal requirements for
registered mail, etc.), and I think that the IETF should be able to see
it.

Just a scaling note....

In my almost 4 years as IETF chair, I think I have received a total of approximately 6 paper letters.

One was of a nature that I would classify as "the sender wants to make sure I got it and take it seriously", but it was obvious from context that the sender did not expect me to make it public.

The 5 others were from a guy who wants the IETF to take on pushing his patented technology for doing something that is mostly outside IETF scope, and did not include an email contact address....

No, it's not a huge load. Neither is it a very valuable archive.
