I note that the minutes I requested in my posting yesterday were published two hours later [1] althought not linked from https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Meetings as one would expect, not were they announced on the mailing list. While I am glad that this has finally happened, it is deplorable that it should require persistent public complaints to make such a simple and easy thing happen when it should have been entirely routine -- the situation is still quite unsatisfactory and I look forward to receiving a clear explanation from the people responsible.
I note that the issue of minutes will "be discussed as an item proposed as one of the governance improvements". I hope that this discussion will lead to action, which is what has been conspicuously lacking. Is the Community involved in these proposals for governance improvement?

Also, a request:
Please add: - User names (i.e., {{User0|BrillLyle}} - Links to relevant topics of conversation (i.e., Code of Conduct and Confidentiality Agreement) and events (i.e., WikiCite 2016)
The March meeting minutes are making me itchy -- I want to add these links....
Here at WM NYC we list user names with talk pages and links to relevant topics and events at WM NYC Board and chapter meetings. It seems to be more convenient for folks and is aligned with the desire for good will transparency. Plus the user names won't change significantly so I often have them in hidden text, then adjust for actual attendees.
But then some might consider me an over wikilinker, probably. :-)
- Erika Also enjoy alphabetical order....

Also please consider adding times to the minutes.
The meeting opening time was there.... it would be useful to know the times when people join and leave the meeting, when the meeting goes into 'executive session' and when the meeting closes.
Regards, Richard.
