[address-policy-wg] Promote the use of IRC

+1 for Carsten's opinion

I also prefer this mailing-list for AP discussions.

I would not go so far and call this a bad idea - but I am not at all easy about it either.

Random (sub) groupings of whatever kind can and should most certainly be free to use whatever means of communication they see fit - but address policy stuff must IMHO stay on this mailing list. And only there!

I for sure will not open yet another ingress channel I then would need to monitor.
