Where is discussion ongoing?
Internally. We have to decide on a MO. I'm sharing this summary here to keep you posted, and give an opportunity for input. But in the end, the committee has to decide how it wants to operate.
I don't know what primary tool means.
In the past, the IRC dicussion was the only way to get an RFC discussed or approved.
There are benefits to both asynchronous and synchronous discussions. The IRC meetings in particular have the benefit of being scheduled and regularly recurring, which can be a good nudge for people to finish drafting a task or wiki page, to make a decision to accept or decline, to comment on a proposal, etc.
Yes, we do see advantages, too. But it's not the best tool for all discussions, and shouldn't be the only venue of discussion.
