I'm not so sure that's a problem. The additional time I think (for me) would be in reading the 100's of ietf-discuss mails that'd get triggered by my or some other AD's comments. Not all comments would trigger that of course, but if you look at the minutes for any IESG telechat [1] and imagine that all those comments had been sent to ietf-discuss during IETF LC then you might worry about what'd happen on this list. I'm not against considering this idea at all, but we should bear in mind that any random thread on this list has a non-zero probability of turning into major amounts of traffic. Most of that traffic would doubtless be excellent IETF LC stuff, but we maybe need to be careful in what we wish for too. Cheers, S.
