[governance] Discussion summaries?

[Chad Lubelsky]

Hi everyone,

I too have benefitted from the discussions but at the same time I find  
both the volume of emails + the nuanced nature of some of the  
conversation means I have a hard time keeping up.  My feeling is that  
this might be inhibiting broader participation and even understanding  
of the issues at hand.

I was chatting with Ginger and we both like the idea of having  
discussion summaries but recognize that that is a significant task for  
any one person to take on (although if there is a volunteer that would  
be great!).  We then thought it might be more feasible to ask  
individual contributors to synthesize their own contributions.   
Drilling down to the essence of everyone's arguments might bring  
enhanced clarity to the discussion and also open the door to more  
diverse participation.

Thoughts?

Chad
