As to other records, there are two problems: a) the OSMF wiki site isn't searchable so finding something is near impossible, and b) there is no guarantee that something was minuted in the first place, particularly if it was advice received from counsel (former boards have been very concerned about that) As a result I can just relate hearsay that the board or at least the subset that made up the LWG at the time, was informed and aware of the issue.
