+1, very well said. To be clear, by "decisions need to be brought back to the list" I would say that the actual decision, including a chance for others not on the call to have differing opinions, happens on list.
My understanding is that this is a longstanding regular meeting across multiple orgs contributing to Datasketches. Integrating it appropriately with Apache mailing list practices should be resolved during incubation. I think a start is to emphasize this practice of proposing and finalizing decisions on the list, including rationale/technical summaries that will allow an asynchronous reader to follow and contribute to the trajectory of the project. Sometimes this is taken as some kind of rule forbidding efficient work style, and it is not that. Most projects have some off-list *work* happening in the sense that there are often people who may whiteboard, pair program, talk about their own goals amongst themselves. That's fine and good IMO as long as the list is still the authoritative and informative record of what is going on with the project.
