+1 
While no one wants this to snowball into multiple chat channels impossible to keep abreast of, I also think it's good to have a forum for informal chat. But I would urge minimalizing, say one sub-channel per WG.

Emphasis on "what is not on this list has not happened" as far as formal(!) policy-making goes.

OTOH, random sub-groups sitting together in a smoke-filled room, one or two or the other IRC channels, and throwing around ideas before bringing up something formal is a good thing - as long as it's clearly understood that this is informal.
