Please evaluate the council's effectivness based on their achievements. And no, secret meetings don't count towards that. Seriously, i understand that the council should be as transparent as possible, but there are issues that need some confidential handling. > threatening to pull each others' access if anyone goes public with > whatever it was that was discussed, *something* has to be done... Um, that's hard to say without the thing in the open. I just trust the involved parties to have enough insight to bring anything that would harm gentoo to public scrunity (and following outcry). > The details can remain private if necessary, but publishing a brief > summary along the lines of "we discussed x and y and decided z" *has* Um, wait. Council *decisions*, as long as they're affecting gentoo's ways, must be out in the open. We won't end up with National Security Letters to infra or something (and i trust there'll be an uproar, if it ever reaches that point). Say, if the council decides to ice a project, how can that be kept secret? -- Regards, Matti Bickel Homepage: http://www.rateu.de Encrypted/Signed Email preferred
