Adding another voice in favor of creating a bespoke place for this discussion. And, just a thought on the private/public question: drawing from our experience from the recent ITU push, I think it'll be inevitable that there will be need for non-public spaces to discuss actions. Though these will be campaign-specific groups and will involve changing sets of members of people within and beyond the Mozilla community (even over the span of a given campaign). So, my thought is that a permanent secondary semi-private group isn't immediately necessary (and might put an odd spin on the discussion in the public forum), and we'd be able to quickly spin them up if necessary in any case. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
