This was not Gerard's argument about why members of the committee do not
disclose their discussions. I personally totally understand that need but I
also think this is a case-by-case thing. Disclosing these interactions or
not based on the discretion of the committee is perfectly fine by me.

This is a repeat of your position earlier. It does not address my concern. I
personally was not able to follow the discussion threads with all the
censored messages from committee members, not outside sources.
