Hello folks,

Sorry for the delay in the answer, we were working non stop until now to
get you the meeting minutes and prepare ourselves for the second
contribution period.

Again, thank you so much for your time and help! All your comments were
valuable and helped us to understand different points of view.

Here is the meeting minutes:

If you have any question or comments, please let us know.

I don't doubt the people involved were working very hard, but I find the process troubling, and maybe there could have been more workers available to share the load if things had been done in a different order.

I have received e-mails that appear to me to be final disposition of my comments on the survey, with no copy to the mailing list and before the meeting minutes were sent. The comments in question were not mentioned in the minutes. That means final decisions are being made with no opportunity for those who were not in the meeting to express their opinions.

After a subset of a PMC has been involved in face-to-face or phone discussions, usually the next thing to happen, before making final decisions and communicating them, is to bring the rest of the committee up to speed by posting the minutes on the mailing list and continuing the discussion there. Final decisions come after mailing list discussion. I realize D&I is not a PMC, but this is a situation in which I think it would have been better to follow a procedure that is designed to avoid excluding people based on what time of day they are available.
