Huh? Why? What kind of data is in there that needs to be private? You mean wait 9 months for a TLP to start operating? Or wait implementing new legal policies for about 6 months are they're ratifieid? If, after a board meeting, there was some kind of (short or long) notification that a particular resolution was made/tabled/rejected, I think you could trust the board@ people to be reasonable and appropriate about disclosing that information, sometimes including the full text of the resolution. That's certainly how I've seen things happen over the last few years (even if the result of board meetings is not always reported informally, when it is, that usually prompts near-immediate action). For example, I think loads of TLPs list their "Creation resolution", and I think most of them did that before it was in the official minutes. Similarly, I'll bet we had the ASLv1.1 -> ALv2 conversion well underway before it appeared in the minutes.
Up to about a year ago, board summaries were sent to committers@, and so were public. Since then, they've been sent to members@ instead, making them private. I don't know the reason for the change, but if they went back to being public again, I would expect that pieces of them could be extracted and used as they used to be. -- Martin Cooper LSD
