and it would be good to: 1- Disclose _all_ private lists used by TDF, along with who in the community is on those lists. To do otherwise is to have both private and secret lists. 2 - Disclose what is being discussed and what decisions are being made on private lists, this can be done in a way that retains enough specific detail to keep confidences, while being open and transparent to the community at large. > we intend and want to have a > dexision making process that's transparent.

Well, that reads to me as - if the SC where forced to use only the tools the rest of us are stuck using, it would find it bothersome and distracting to the point that people wold either stop contributing or start doing things in private to avoid the distractions.
