Hi Harald, I'm not expert in legal stuff, but I think the European regulations (at least in Spain because I needed to learn this in order to host web sites with any kind of registration or list of people and comply with the law), there is no difference in publishing it before, during or after. Just can't be published w/o the consent of the participant. >From a practical point of view, probably is good to do what John suggested, but alternatively also publishing only after the meetings will be a good protection for example to avoid a thief go to your home when you're in the IETF, as I recall somebody suggested was already happening in UK. I don't think a legal requirement for our process can jump over the laws. Is like if we decide that we need to sacrifice one of us in every meeting to sign the minutes with human blood, while we know that killing some one is forbidden. Yes I know ... is a quite exaggerated example, but some times is the best way to show what is wrong ;-) May be the 1st thing to do is to be really open in all the aspects, and that means clarifying our legal "situation", the terms under we take all the decisions, and so on.
