[governance] Idea of Instant Messaging for IGCaucus

[Imran Ahmed Shah (via governance Mailing List)]

 Dear Johan, 
Thanks for contributing your comments, however, as I said in replying to Alex, that idea is to introduce another communication medium of communication not to close the mailing list in anyway.
Is there no tool in the current world, in which we can establish interlinking between the conversation of both type of mediums.....????
Best Regards
Imran

Email is still the major tool for communication that needs to be
recorded and accessible. I don't really see what additional benefits
or functionality IM would bring (and note that IM and email has
coexisted for at least 30 years without IM replacing email). The
other problem is that all email systems are pretty much interoperable,
while Im systems aren't, so with IM you would have to pick one
of the many incompatible systems in use, and would cut out users
of other systems.
