Absolutely agree, and I bet no one will argue with you - FWIW, the OGB hasn't used ogb-private often during the year as there have been very few occasions where it has been needed. As secretary I send draft minutes there to get a final sign-off that they accurately reflect the discussion before I send to ogb-discuss. > Should the motion not pass we can simply add some additional > clarification to an OGB FAQ so that its clear why the list exists, > restrictions associated with it, etc. > I will add that, while I still disagree, there is value in providing a > private archived place for discussion which discourages private > non-archived (direct email) discussion.
