Members of the board often do not discuss and come to consensus about hot-button issues on advisory-board. By contrast, we managed to work out what to do about the Secure Boot issue on the board-private list and even got many board members to vote on the proposals there. > That's why after > a longer discussion we agreed to: > > > > * IDEA: We keep the lists the way they are now and really start using > > > the advisory-list more.

We had a rule in fesco that we were only going to discuss things that really were private on the -private list. For a long time, this rule was violated. jwb and mjg spoke up in the board meeting to say that there are no longer discussion threads on the fesco private list so that seems to have been solved. The last solution I heard was that nirik was going to take responsibility for telling people to move topics out to the -devel list instead of using -private. If we're going to make this effective, I think we'd need to make a similar rule and give someone (perhaps the FPL since they have continuity beyond a Board election cycle) responsibility for ending discussions on board-private. -Toshio
