 Obviously I've misunderstood what was agreed.

 However, decisions themselves should be taken in meetings in real time.

 That seems to work well for other teams but we need to be inclusive,
 and I'm certain you agree with that.

 The problem is that, unless we give everyone ample time to put their
 view forward, we don't appear to be inclusive. There may times that we
 reach agreement and make a decision on the list. We can then just
 rubber-stamp it at a meeting.

 Like I say, this is just the growing pains of new people working
 together. I don't see there being any major problems.

Agreed on all accounts.

I'm sorry to labour the point, but I can't see the part where we
agreed to prune the Launchpad list. All we agreed, as I see it, is to
prune the wiki list and you kindly stepped up to contact the people on
the wiki list to let them know we're using Launchpad for the
membership list.

Anyway, unless someone wants to point that I've been an idiot and
missed something, I'll leave it there :) As I said previously, I think
this is just the growing pains while we all settle into getting to
know one another, etc.

Cheers!

Hehe - I suppose it might've been clearer. But we agreed to _remove_ the
wiki list, and prune the memberlist. Now I admit that it hasn't been
specified there which memberlist was meant, but IMO it is quite clear
that the memberlist is the one in launchpad, as it is larger, in
launchpad and has the mentioned 70 people on it.
If this caused anyone to nod to a decision they didn't agree with, I
truly apologize. The damage is done, however, and we now have a clean
list of about 20 people, all of whom are active.
