That list could be pre-populated with email addresses from
all current IETF lists to which the "note well" has been sent.

That would seem to defeat the apparent purpose of this new
list, namely distinct and explicit acknowledgment of the 
IPR policy.
 
There is a difference between passing a Note Well past someone
who is focussing on some other task, such as contributing to a
technical discussion, versus having subscription be solely for
the purpose of acknowledging the IPR policy.

Such an opt-in list would also constitute a de facto IETF
Membership list which, for various reasons, we have carefully
avoided in the past.
 
ps. I'm not commenting on the efficacy of doing this separate
list, merely trying to be clear about its differential
semantics.

Ditto about the consequences.
