It's a question of costs and benefits. The cost of the IETF Announce
posting is small. There are not that many of them and I don't find
them to be a burden. The benefit in openness and transparency is
large. Thus the answer is simple and the policy should remain as it is
for now. If conditions change, it can certainly be revisited.
Thanks,
Donald

I am not against a meeting announcement. I am suggesting to announce the
meeting where the audience is -- in the working group.
