Re: [alac] A Public Meeting in Advance of Mar del Plata / was"Opening our meetings"

[Izumi AIZU <aizu@xxxxxxx>]

I am also in favor of opening the meeting, and raising the transparency
overall.

We should consider other points, such as minutes be posted,
etc.

But just to remind, we had some conversation before as to how much
we should open up and some folks were not too comfortable in
making everything open. So we should make sure things will
go in order.

thanks,

izumi
