Janet,
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".
Understood. I'm wondering if this points to a need to get on the meeting list
easily. Either without registering, or having a registration flag of being
interested in the meeting while not intending to be there.
We could create another mailing list too, but I'm a little sensitive for
creating many slightly different mailing lists (duplicate messages, posting
accidentally on the wrong one, etc)
I see no reason why the 87attendees(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org list shouldn't be open
to remote participants. Is that not the case already? We should be doing all we
can to encourage participation.
I would share the concerns of duplication if an 87remote(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org
list were set up, but it might be useful for those who aren't there to be able
to discuss issues, tips, etc with remote participation.
A lot of meeting topics do come up on the main ietf list too, of course.
