I think the document in general should be discussed on a separate mailing
list as it's not meeting specific. And, previous attempts at discussing
this topic on more general mailing lists have not been particularly
positive.
I would agree that sharing information on general information related to
finding food at the meetings on the attendees mailing list might be a good
idea. However, some of the details may be of no interest to the majority.
For example, there is small (but growing) subset of the IETF population
that needs to eat Gluten-Free. This tends to get into very detailed
discussions (per my document) and these might seem totally trivial and
unnecessary for folks that don't deal with this and while it might seem
obvious to some folks what we can and cannot eat, it's not nearly as simple
as it might appear. For example, asian food is always risky due to the use
of soy sauce (which contains wheat). And, cross-contamination is a big
issue, so the waitstaff is equally as important in ensuring we get safe
food as having a cook that understands the concept. So, personally I
would prefer to have those sorts of discussions on the ietf-food list as
I'm sure most attendees have no interest whatsoever in a topic like this.

Any reason not to use attendees-xx(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org? I do not regularly
participate in the ietf-food list, but I am interested in the results. For
example, I am not a vegetarian, but I like vegetarian food. Likewise, I am
on a budget, so knowing where to buy good food outside the venue interests
me.
The idea being that while there is a core group for whom food is
critically important, e.g., getting very ill from the wrong food, there is
a larger audience that would be interested in the discussion, too.

Dear Mary;
Which is the appropriate community mailing list for discussion of this
draft ? IETF(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org ?
A more limited traffic alternative might be useful ... my wife is a
Registered Dietician and might be willing to provide feedback and
suggestions, but not if she has to wade through the wide variety of
discussion on the ietf@ietf list. I suspect there may be other experts
who'd feel the same.
Ray, Russ - could we set up a mailing list for _general_ meeting related
discussions ? (Or,
maybe, such already exists.)
I think that just diet may be too narrow a focus...
