If there's nothing private in there, which one can only assume there is not since the document is world-readable, I would encourage you to Be Bold and transfer it to mediawiki.org. That document was edited by staff, and staff agree to release their work as CC BY-SA in their contracts, so copying it over should be fully compliant with the licence if you link to the doc for the history in your comment. Further edits can then be made to the page on mediawiki.org. Google Docs is easier to spin up in the moment and edit collaboratively than MediaWiki. Using proprietary software tools if they're a better fit for the intended purpose is entirely consistent with the Foundation's guiding principles <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Wikimedia_Foundation_Guiding_Principles#Freedom_and_open_source>, so their choice to use Google Docs makes sense to me. That said, transferring the notes out of the doc to mediawiki.org after the moment has passed does seem like a good idea in general. NB: I have nothing to do with Architecture Committee, I'm just an interested observer.
