David, thanks for forwarding the original post to the public list, that is 
where it should have gone to begin with.  Agreed that most things should go 
public, but we still need a private list for some of the topics mentioned.  
What we need is just better use of the public list, including me ;-) rather 
than trying to create more lists.

Cheers,

Brian

Sure, I have absolutely no objection to private lists for sensitive affairs, 
which definitely do come up from time to time.  But I'm equally conscious of 
the power of autocomplete in the To box, or just simple muscle memory.

BTW, the draft notes should probably be public.  All but the executive session 
portion, anyway.  Or are board meetings still closed to observers?

I guess the thought is that the Secretary gives those within a meeting a period 
of time (week or two IIRC) to review the notes and make sure that they are 
accurate.  I think we might have corrected one or two errors in the past year, 
so I'm definitely fine with drastically reducing this period of time or 
eliminating it.  And by eliminating it I mean that the draft notes are 
distributed on the public list but still verified by those within a meeting for 
their correctness before being formally adopted.

The Board is now up in the high teens in terms of numbers.  The entire group is 
hardly productive on the phone which is why I was pushing for more targeted and 
smaller committees the past few weeks.


Rather than board-private, perhaps board-hr and board-recruitment, which are by 
definition private, and tightly scoped enough by name to remind people of the 
purpose of those list.

Fine by me.  I'm trying to move the OpenID lists over to Google Apps (since 
there is now Groups support) which makes admin tasks like this much easier.  I 
don't have a solid plan yet for the transition from a technical perspective.  
(Importing archives, DNS switch over, 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> vs 
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, etc).


I found that, after I was no longer on board-private, my knowledge of the OIDF 
greatly decreased.  That says something.

This must be fixed this year.  There is far too large of a gap between the 
value the OIDF creates for Board members and for everyone else.  Our current 
membership model supports this gap and must evolve.

There are a few legitimate use cases of the private list, but I generally agree 
with you.  It seems like the main uses for the private list should be:
 - draft meeting notes for review
 - sensitive legal / PR issues
 - HR (though this mainly happens via a small CC list of the exec committee)
 - prospective members

I also don't think that everyone is as offended by giant CC lists as you or I 
am.  I worry that because of this, what is currently sent to the private list - 
and at least archived - would be lost.

:-\

Could always moderate new threads, but that would be sad.

As someone who only follows board public now, I'm wondering if the board would 
consider deleting board-private altogether.  I made this suggestion a year or 
two ago, but never really followed up.

The bounce mail would be a good reminder of best practices.

Hello All,

Following up on our meeting last week, I've updated the OIDF Committee Wiki at 
https://openid.pbworks.com/Committees  I've also taken a stab at suggesting 
possible chair, vice-chair, and members for each committee.  Ultimately it's up 
to each committee to select their chair and vice-chair, but I wanted to jump 
start the process.  When you review the list, please inform me or the entire 
list of the following:


1.       Which committees you would like to be on, if you're not already listed

2.       Which committees you're listed on that you don't want to be on

3.       Which committees you'd be willing to serve as chairman or 
vice-chairman on.

You can update this yourself on the wiki or let me know and I'll make the 
updates.

Cheers,

Brian
