Thanks for the reminder, Harald.

Actually that looks very close to what I suggested: subject to
IPR rules and relevant to the IETF mission, as judged by an AD.

But when having to evaluate the question for the ietf-languages list a
month ago, I did not find a written statement anywhere that said "here's
how you operate an IETF list that is not a WG list".


One of the first items would be to define what "an IETF list that is not a
WG list" is. Presumably, it's something to do with being set up in
furtherance
of the IETF Mission Statement and subject to IETF IPR rules.


We were faced with this question some time ago, and the result was the creation of the "IETF Non-WG mailing lists" page, <https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/nwg_list.cgi>

The theory being that if something is listed there, the IETF definitely considers it an IETF list; if it is not listed, it's either not an IETF list, or someone needs to take an action to get it listed (which is simple).

I think defining rules about what is or is not an IETF list is tricky; it's simpler to list the ones that are.....
