In private please, first. And maybe also cc a small number of relevant/interested folk so there can be a private discussion. Not every action we do should start in public. For starters, it's human nature 101 that resolving matters in private is generally easier than resolving them after the stakes have been raised. Being public about some things is by its very nature an escalation. There is a time for doing things in public, but we shouldn't always start there. Thomas
