sure thing.  I will add the topic to the agenda.

Definitely a possibility.  We should discuss it.

I think it is because it went dormant for several years after focusing 
only on gathering IDR requirements, and the work moved elsewhere.  The 
reason for reviving the list and the RG is because there is work that 
we can do that would be useful, both in the short term and in the long 
term.  But it remains to be seen whether this list can become an active 
place for routing discussion.  I certainly invite people to use this 
list as an open forum place to discuss research ideas and issues 
related to routing.
