In the meantime, if there are any questions for us (as a board) or for individual trustees I encourage you simply to send those along, either to me (if you want them to go to the whole board, as I will pass them along) or privately. That would help make sure that we can address the questions people actually have, rather than speculating. It sounds like people are interested in individual trustee motives. I do think it's better if trustees individually write/talk about where they are coming from, rather than trying to put that information in an official document like the minutes, where everything is condensed and there is the possibility of misrepresentation.
Misrepresentation is a risk also for "majority views": minutes are always partial but they're supposed to explain or briefly highlight how the body came to some conclusion. Individual members should also be able to submit a few lines of explanation summarizing their view, if they want (again, I don't know if some of them actually wants, but they should definitely be allowed to).
Nemo, thanks for sending around the notes -- that's quite helpful! I think we have some notes that Joslyn took too, I'll see if there is anything I can add from that (though etherpad still doesn't seem to work well in my browser - boo.)
Don't use HTTPS! Unless the editing is still hectic (I doubt so), we could just immediately move those on Meta, which is their final destination anyway.
