Good morning Michael,

Thanks for sharing the summary about BIP process meeting.

1.I want to avoid mentioning projects that are not decentralized however the 
thing you mentioned is a feature not a bug. Neither anyone needs "quality" 
certificates from anyone nor approval. People are free to propose anything as 
improvement for Bitcoin. What gets implemented is a different thing. Also BIP 
number doesn't make something legit, BIPs can have any names. Example: If I 
ever create draft a proposal to improve Bitcoin, it will be in my own 
repository and with a unique name.

2.I am surprised that few influential developers that wanted to improve BIP 
process earlier by making it more decentralized were not present in either 
meeting. Also no follow up here on mailing list. So decentralization was only 
required when you had some issues with Luke Dashjr? Few things are so obvious 
that even a newbie who starts researching about Bitcoin from today can observe 
such things.

I tried my best to ask more people to participate in the meeting by tweeting, 
requested Christopher to attend the meeting and share his thoughts. Thanks 
everyone who was part of this meeting.
