[ipv6-wg] Promote the use of IRC

Hi,

i agree with Benedikt. Not everybody has the time to hang around in the
IRC channel and at least there will be much more unnecessary stuff which
you have to filter out..is it important? is it not important? And at
least somebody of the WG has to filter the important stuff which means
much more work for this guy(s). I think one place for policy discussions
is enough and the mailinglist is the better place for it than an IRC
channel.

Except for that an IRC channel for general IPv6 discussions, questions
etc. is a good thing but not for policy discussions.

Have a nice evening,
Andi
