Good idea, but do not constrict it to WG only. Also include people from the IAB, IESG, draft authors and some random people. Also pick a topic of interest, let the mentors to lead and encourage the discussion. Regards, as On 14-03-2013 07:05, Peter Saint-Andre wrote: -BEGIN PGP

These are some cool ideas, and I think we need to try some or all of them. I'm happy to support a newcomers list if we do that, as well as the development of the informational packet for newcomers. I also like the billeting notion; if I were to be paired up with a newcomer, something like meeting
