Alas, such a gateway is not to be.  Postel said that NameDroppers
was intended to be a small list of people actively working on the
problems, and it's already gotten too large.  If it were gatewayed
onto Usenet, it would be impossible to control.

If Ken wants to post transcripts to keep people informed, fine.
Anyone who really feels they have something to contribute should
either get on the mailing list (making a case that they are not
just along for the ride) or express their concerns to one of us that
is on the mailing list, and we can forward them or summarize.

Postel also indicated that NameDroppers has just about run its course,
and that it would probably be subsumed into Header-People soon.
Header-People is already gatewayed (courtesy of Ken) into net.mail.headers.
