yea that's cool. I just thought if a decision was made on IRC it
couldn't be "undone" by a vote on the list. I like the idea of using
quick chats to clear out lingering things and then have them ratified
on the list.

I like all of this except the above. I thought decisions of
substance cannot be made on IRC? It sounds unfair since people
oftentimes cannot attend. I have no problems with discussions but
decision making should be on the list. I hate to be a contrarian
on this point but I feel it is important.
The intention here was to provide a mechanism to handle discussions
from the list that were just going on and on. Critical is that the
discussion started on the list and would conclude on the list. I
was trying to capture that the point of the chat would be to tackle
a specific issue rather than just have your typical rambling IRC
thread :-)
Would it work for you to say that the point of the chat would be to
have a focused discussion?
