That does not seem accurate, and I consider it a problem. The only traffic this list gets is Diana's post of the meeting minutes (Thank you Diana) with these exceptions I found: 1 post form a board member, no reply. Not sure that qualifies as a discussion. https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/psf-board-public/2015-October/001110.html On Sun, Aug 2, 2015 at 7:22 AM, M.-A.

(follow the link if you want to know the rest) https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/psf-board-public/2015-August/thread.html This shows me that MAL is taking an active role in shaping the results. I may not really agree with his position, but I know what it is, and if I strongly disagreed I would like to think someone would want to hear about it. And or if I disagree with enough of his ideas, maybe I won't vote for him. May June and July have a little activity too: https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/psf-board-public/2015-July/thread.html It looks like most of the traffic is from non board members. Is this why the board stopped using it for board discussions? Why are non board members allowed to post to the board list? Steve, I am trying to elect board members and want to know how they feel about something I care about. If you want to have a discussion, start a new thread.
