Precisely! Non-member comments belong on the regular mailing lists. This is simply committee business. Meeting via mailing list to accommodate time zone differences and create a permanent record. The committee minutes should be readable to all, but the actual meeting posts should follow Robert's Rules of Order precisely as one does in a concurrent meeting. KISS. Non-members may be allowed to comment, but using the process in Robert's. It spreads the meeting out a lot, but it also makes achieving a quorum much simpler.
I don't see this as anything other than covering the costs of website, etc. Mostly providing structure such that someone leaving doesn't crater OI. Basic enterprise management. At present a bad car crash at FOSSDEM could cripple OI pretty badly. The more we document the better. Have Fun!

To my understanding, this is NOT a fee for OI development, having access to repositories, etc., but ONLY for the costs of a steering committee ! _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
