I will say it again, IRC is not replacing the list. IRC is complementing it. With official, I mean something like "RIPE Seal of Approval". In IRC PDP will not happens, but *can be* a good place to cook ideas. It will be as official as we want it to be, but again, it will never replace the Mailing List.
If you're seeking WG "approval" for an informal channel, I'm as confused as the rest of them. I can't speak for the WG chairs, but my read is "no"/ As for the RIPEIRC -- just use it! Loads of folks attach to those servers 'early' (before the meetings) and chatter tapers off sometimes days after. Cheers, Joe -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / CotSG / Usenix / NANOG
