Good idea.

Also agree here.  People actually already *try* this kind of thing, 
but the directorate addresses and other contact information is not 
well maintained (in http://www.ietf.org/u/ietfchair/directorates.html 
the "broadcast addresses" are not mentioned).

FWIW, the ICAR process is IMHO really critical for getting the quality 
better and taking some sweat off the IESG's back.  Let's see if we can 
still find ways to motivate (or do some arm-twisting) of people to get 
on board.
