All,
First I agree with Lloyd the misuse of normtive language in mails,
jsut look a bit peculiar and does not carry any weight.
Lloyd,
While it is true that most work in the IETF happens on mailing lists,
and should be taken there as fast as is ever possible, it is not true
that all work is is done on mailing lists. If it did everything in
Note Well that does say anything about things that does not happen on
the mailing lists would be moot.
I hope you don't want to real work coming out of chance meetings in
the corridors of the IETF meeting venue. Consider me walking down the
corridor and by chance happens to start talking to the a bright person
from one of my worst competitors about something that has slowly
emerged in my head over the last few hours. He or she confirms the
same problem has just occurred him/her. After 10 mins of discussion we
have something that can go into a draft.
Do you seriously say that we should be stopped for writing the draft,
just because our discussion took place face to face, rather than on
a mailing list?

The work of the IETF is on the mailing lists.
You MUST stop using normative language in emails. It carries no weight.

The drafts are requested on the lists to be presented and all have
same chance to present or object to a presentation, chairs SHOULD only
put the request on the list and see priorities and agreements from the
WG.
just say a hard no to "i want to present draft-..." has your draft been
discussed on the mailing list and has shown serious divergence of views
such that facetime is really needed?
No, there can be a chance to start discussions in meetings as well. I
recommend you object the drafts that you think is a waste of your time
and discuss with your WGs, without throwing vegetables.
