Hola Roland,

I know you are not referring to a specific person nor I believe those 
comments necessarily apply to me. But: I do like to send my comments : )

Reporting of what happen in the meeting should be easier as well as 
sharing your thoughts. I found more complicated to discuss sensitive 
issues for a joint position in an open list (with many stakeholders on 
it) before a meeting (and gather the feedback that is needed prior to 
that meeting).

I think, what we haven't done, but may be it is an idea is to blog about 
the meetings as long as you do not attribute the names. It has been 
working very well in CSTD as long as it is without names. May be this is 
something that might help inform the discussion and solve the reporting 
problem?. Of course, I do understand that many people won't have the 
time but many others may?
