I think you're right to point this out. There was a private discussion, in fact there were two, but both indeed had no remarkable importance. The first one clearly happened privately as it was in the context of the foundation's incorporation and what really went on was a request to review the existing bylaws in the light of the existing bylaws and correct the bylaws if there were in conflict. Then the second private discussion was me sending a private email to Florian with a draft, asking him, "so what do you think of that?". Obviously, these are preparatory works, and some of it could not readily be made public for legal reasons, but obviously whatever validation would imply a publication, which implies publicity. I hope it helps. Best, -- Charles-H.
