True. > [...] In fact, I can't think of any standards bodies that *do* hold open meetings. I can: the IETF, for example. All business of the IETF is transacted or confirmed on open participation mailing lists, and IETF meetings are known as NOTE WELL meetings because of the notice given at their opening regarding the fact that meeting is public and resulting considerations regarding, e.g., trade secrets. Mind you, there are many more standards setting organizations that don't have open participation, such as OASIS, ISO, and so on. I don't begrudge you starting closed, our even staying closed, though I would prefer that at least the output of any ZFS standards org be open. Also, I would recommend that you eventually consider creating a new open participation list for non-members (separate from any members-only list). Nico --
