I don't agree with this at all.  I served on FESCo for years.  I know
what the existing summaries represent, how they're generated, and what
the dynamics of the meetings are.  You don't need training and
professional people to improve things as a project.

Honestly, I'm not finding fault with FESCo.  I'm saying the thing they
are doing today is not really valuable for a consumer base that wasn't
in the meeting.  If they want to make it better, AI is a tool that is
actually pretty simple to use to do that without a ton of effort.  If
they don't want to make it better, then maybe just stop publishing the
summary emails entirely and save themselves and others time.  The
meeting logs will still be there.
