I roll to disbelieve. It seems not like the IETF to dictate the structure of a working group so rigidly. RFC 2418 [1] backs this up with things like "there are few hard and fast rules on organizing or conducting working group activities" and "each working group will determine the balance of email and face-to-face sessions that is appropriate for achieving its milestones." All we should need is a mailing list and a bit of structure on top of that. You might be conflating the IETF's own rules [2] with the Working Group rules. [3] We'd be a Working Group.
