We propose that, for an initial period of 6 months, a member of

which will be posted publicly after IESG review for accuracy.

Sounds useful to me.  How about actually recording the discussion too?
And publishing them as OGG or MP3.  Editing out personnel discussion
would still be possible.  All for the sake of transparency and
accountability.

My experience is that recordings tend to shut some people up.

My experience is that recordings tend to make people focus on facts,
rather than trying to win a discussion or furthering their own agenda.
If the IESG meetings are intended as service to the community, from
experts, that seem to be a good thing.

Plus, if they exist, they are subject to subpoena.

Is that a problem?  Not purely a rhetorical question.

Thanks,
Simon
