Maybe there is also a simple thing WG chairs could do, and that is to
state in the working group sessions something like:
If you are new to the IETF or this WGs work, have a lot of questions but
are afraid to ask them on WG mailing list: Don't. But if that does not
persuade you, then please simply ask us working group chairs via email.
And of course put that onto closing slide for the WG-meeting, so only
those interested novices will hear and see it that have enough stamina
to listen through a whole WG meeting recording ;-)
