As a mentor of ISIS, I'd like to ask everyone to give them a little breathing room on this subject. Many TLP's in good standing have active IRC channels. These have very closely related risks to open communities. Many TLPs in good standing hold in-person meetups from time to time. This is not to

Hi Emmanuel Lecharny and all... You are right, this is why this kind of meetings are not related to decisions making in general, they are just like an online get-together/meetup, they are optional not mandatory to attend, and no decisions are taken in them, just brain storming, comments, ideas
