Umm, I don't think so. As a TAG member, I encountered many discussions
that were in members-only areas, and they are still going on (XML
Schema,
for example). The TAG would refuse to participate in any such
discussion,
which often required permissions be obtained to move comments from a
private forum to a public one. W3C decisions are all made in public.
Maybe you are referring to working groups that have been initiated in
the past five years?
yep -- I figured Sanjiva was just thinking of the WGs in the Web
Services Activity, which have tended to follow the policy he
described. There have been a few others like that, but my
experience/observation has been that the majority of W3C WGs still do
most of their work on private lists. It can still be an ordeal just
to get some WGs to make f2f minutes available publicly.
