Hey Fabiana! thanks for asking! when a discussion has gone far enough on the mailing list for the Board to have enough information to base its vote upon that will result in the minutes containing a VOTE item as you can see from the decision taken on the Code of Conduct for GUADEC.
In the case we haven't had the time to discuss a specific item deeper we just list it as being discussed (or maybe just answered asking for more information) and we make sure to follow-up on that and eventually vote on it at the next meeting. I can probably make sure to add more detailed information and not just the subject of the relevant mail, that's totally doable :-) 2014-07-27 11:41 GMT+02:00 Fabiana Simões <fabianapsim...@gmail.com>: > Hi Andrea, > > Thanks for sharing these! > > Would it be possible to disclose more details on the topics discussed > over the mailing list?
