It is nice to be able to read meeting minutes on the Web. When a meeting organizer has paid staff, why not post them? Lean on PP directly and see if that prods them to get some up.

But the normal place for minutes is still face to face, at a subsequent meeting. Minutes are, strictly speaking, an aid for the next meeting. Their purpose is not to substitute for attending meetings. Non-decisional meetings don't require minutes; however, any discussion that calls for progress should provide them.

Perhaps people should sort out their priorities here. People whose chief goal is to stamp PennPraxis as unhelpful, probably should avoid attending any meeting it facilitates, since they would then run a risk (however small) of actually being helped by PennPraxis.

People whose chief goal is to weigh in on a political choice, though, are generally helped by attending pertinent meetings, no matter who chairs them and how the minutes come out; especially if those people believe they have force of numbers on their side.
