Hence:

1.  IETF meetings should not be used for transmitting "news" that is 
relevant to the working group; use the list.

2.  IETF meetings should not be used for introducing ideas or 
specifications; use the list.

3.  If there is confusion or contention about something discussed on the 
list, THEN it is reasonable to make a presentation on the topic, attempting 
to provide clarification and coherence and as a basis for meeting discussion.
