So I guess we need some open discussion on what people would like to see. I know
I got frustrated with the previous OGB because I didn't know what was going on.
However, I think that is mostly a side effect of the relative lack of good
public meeting minutes, and discussion around the agenda items.

I personally don't believe that the OGB calls should be public, though I think
there should be both a public agenda, and public meeting minutes. I worry that
the infrastructure isn't available for public meetings - we could use IRC, but
that inhibits people who can't type fast, we could open up more ports but that
still inhibits people from countries that can't afford to pay the phone costs. I
think we need a fair level playground for *everyone*, and if we can't achieve
this, then the constitution should be amended.

Hopefully the next OGB call can be a little more positive and productive.
