I can see that there would be some commercial matters regarding sponsorship & possibly venue hire etc that may need to be secret, & possibly also (but hopefully not) personal matters if a member ever needed to be disciplined, but beyond those I can't really see any reason for secrecy? & as for how to talk? I'm another one that likes mailing lists via e-mail! Having multiple communications channels has always been a bit of an issue for OSM, in that if you don't belong to eg "this forum", you miss out on things being discussed. I'd really like us to avoid that, if at all possible! Thanks Graeme
