Thanks Sam, Uwe, Florian,
indeed, as Florian said, this process was bespoken exactly these days, no need 
to be ashamed. So we clarified that process, we publicly discussed it
last Friday, got a few good ideas even from you Uwe (*publishing topics of 
private part of board meetings and give a reason for privateness, both if
possible and if not in the nature of itself). So now, thanks Sam, we as the 
board should now pinning some time frames at the steps of this process, so
that there is an expectation management with it.
Hope, this helps here further and give the impression, that all want to get 
better and better.

Thanks again, Lothar

on the topic on when to publish the minutes, we were indeed discussing 
how to optimize and speed up the process (cf. see item #3 from the last 
board call), so I assume publication to happen faster in the future.

Uwe: it's a shame that your tone is aggressive, and that you assume bad faith, 
because it undermines the point you're making, which I believe is a good one.

Board: To phrase Uwe's question differently: can we on this list expect swifter 
and more comprehensive minutes in future? Could inexpensive process changes be 
made to enable that? 

Thanks,

Sam.

...and the minutes then need two an a half weeks to be published? And at time 
there was really nothing worth working on it? Or reporting to the community?

Ain't you ashamed of this document of obvious idleness? There are open issues 
which damage the Foundation and the community as long they are not solved and 
you dare to just do nothing? Or at least to tell us nothing about what has been 
discussed and/or done?

Just to remind item 4 of the last TDF board meeting: "4. Discuss: one of the 
highest Ranking in budget vote: ...what to do in general...(Lothar, All 5 
minutes, if needed shifted to the private part)"
I' afraid 5 minutes will be not good enough by half. And besides that: A shift 
to the private part is not welcome at all.
