Not true. Most of those assumptions might have been
made by people who were not aware of how things happen
at ILUG-d and the details of the entire decision
making process.

Fine job not griping ;)

Fair enough. 

A public agenda as has been mentioned by a couple of
other people looks like a good place to start. Video
conferencing has its disadvantages - at the very
least, meetings where potentially important decisions
will be made can be streamed using some free service
or the other, using a simple setup. I don't see that
being a problem if there's enough bandwidth to go
around. Audio recordings have problems - editing them
will be painful.

Anyway, I see this thread started as a response to one
I initiated about the name changes for Freed/Freedel.
Well, I justify my question in _this particular case_
because, as I recall, no prior notices were sent out,
and the list was out of the loop. Not that this should
be taken as the norm by everyone - I know its not, but
I found a discrepancy and addressed it. And I'd do it
again in a jiffy :) But the important thing is, that
it evoked a reaction big enough for steps to be
considered and taken, which I think highlights the
openness for all to see.

Cheers
