As I see it, The purpose of the IETF meetings are to give WG members 
well-planned and regular opportunities for high-bandwidth discussions 
about their issues. I haven't seen any requirements that WG Chairs MUST 
attend these, but according to RFC 2418 section 6.1, it's the Chair's 
responsibility to help the discussions move forward, including by 
arranging BOFs at IETF meetings.

There are lots of details here I don't know about, so I propose we wait a 
little with this discussion until we have the WG mailing list up and 
running, where Lisa Dusseault and Chris Newman can answer questions like 
these.

I've sent in the request for setting up the list now, and everyone who 
voted +1 for list creation has been added already. :)
