Hello,
random sub-groups sitting together in a smoke-filled room, one or two or the other IRC channels, and throwing around ideas before bringing up something formal is a good thing - as long as it's clearly understood that this is informal.
+1 While no one wants this to snowball into multiple chat channels impossible to keep abreast of, I also think it's good to have a forum for informal chat. But I would urge minimalizing, say one sub-channel per WG.

Random (sub) groupings of whatever kind can and should most certainly be free to use whatever means of communication they see fit - but address policy stuff must IMHO stay on this mailing list. And only there!
Emphasis on "what is not on this list has not happened" as far as formal(!) policy-making goes. OTOH, random sub-groups sitting together in a smoke-filled room, one or two or the other IRC channels, and throwing around ideas before bringing up something formal is a good thing - as long as it's clearly understood that this is informal.
