Why do you think this is necessary to achieve the purpose of the 3rd party software policy as set out by the council? If there's a need to work out legal details in a non-public manner, then confidentiality should be restricted to those legal discussions only. Why should the fact that the Workstation WG reached out to vendor X (and the accompanying rationale for it) be kept a secret? I have a hard time seeing any additional secrecy in this process as working towards advancing Fedora's mission. So if it is required at all in specific instances (like possibly with legal), I'd like those to be well-justified. Public communication should be the obvious default. This is still Fedora after all.
