That's a particularly paranoid interpretation of the quote, I read Nick and Andy's comments as meaning something else entirely - that if there is to be any comments it should be open to everyone, not just selected people. But I wasn't there, and neither were you, so instead of putting forward your conspiracy-interpretations maybe you could just ask for clarifications to the minutes? I really don't like your continual implications that trusted, respected, long-time members of the OSM community are now somehow suspect because they work for a particular company. Steve, Nick and Andy are all stand-up guys. You keep calling into question the integrity of people we all know well and who have and will continue to do great things for OSM, and it's quite tiresome. But then again, I'm a CloudMade employee, so you can now feel free to question my integrity too, I guess.
