Enjoying this discussion, glad to see it happening. One question I haven't seen addressed:
Are there notes kept during executive sessions?
From what I've seen, it seems that the answer might be no -- and that
doesn't seem good. Having minutes is not the same thing as publishing minutes; but keeping notes on private meetings, if only for the participants to return to when there is a need to refresh their memories or resolve disputes, seems important.
For similar reasons, I like the idea of video- or audio-recording meetings, *independent* of the question of whether such recordings should be more widely distributed.
