Re: IETF Chair, General Area, process and complexity

[Brian E Carpenter <brc at zurich.ibm.com>]

The general area is a small issue in the big picture. If it isn't needed
any more, the IESG can axe it in a split second.

I think a wiser policy might be to keep the area open with no WGs. It
isn't, after all, the Process Area, and it might come in handy one day,
as Avri suggests.
