Yesterday, I've started a discussion in the member list about promoting the use of IRC instead of Mail List for some kind of discussions, chit chat, etc.
Not much members answered, but all who did said yes.
The goal is to have, at least, one channel per mail list, but not limited to only that.
For this list, an #address-policy channel will be created and administrated by the WG Chairs.
We want to use the actual RIPE IRC Server plus Network Services and some more irc servers linked to the Ripe one.
What do you think?
I would not go so far and call this a bad idea - but I am not at all easy about it either. 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! I for sure will not open yet another ingress channel I then would need to monitor. Cheers, -C.
