I agree with this. In particular, I think the best mindset is that a
WG's mailing list is the authoritative record. Decisions that happen in
any sort of meeting are tentative until they find their way to the
mailing list. (BTW: I think this helps avoid the dependence on having
great minutes taken by volunteers, and the inevitable disappointment
that brings.)
