I am another remote participant who would like to be able to subscribe to
the meeting-specific mailing list.
I can skip (myself) the ones about coffee and cookies, but definitely
want to read the ones about schedule changes, etc.
And even the other messages give me a taste of "what it would be like to
be there".

And, incidentally, is there a way for remote participants to
sign up for one or both meeting-related mailing lists without
registering (or using a "remote participation registration"
mechanism, which would be my preference for other reasons)?
I sent the mail to ietf-announce, so I would guess many
non-attendees got it as well.
Yes. I was thinking a bit more generally. For example,
schedule changes during the meeting week, IIR, go to NNall, and
not ietf-announce. As a remote participant, one might prefer
to avoid the usual (and interminable) discussions about coffee
shops, weather, and the diameter of the cookies, but it seems to
me that there is a good deal of material that goes to the two
meeting lists that would be of use. Since I'm on those lists in
spite of being remote (registered and then cancelled), I can try
to keep track of whether anything significant to remote
participants appears on the meeting discuss list this time if it
would help.
best,
