Hello MZM, thanks for taking a start at new pages to illustrate the
discussion on Meta.

There are dozens of posts in the relevant threat on internal-l.
Nothing especially private; I expect it will all be discussed here on
f-l as well.

I will publish any of my own thoughts in foundation-l threads or on meta.

Internal-l is, among other things, a place for chapters to discuss
chapter-internal topics in a slightly quieter forum.  I would prefer
for it to be a world-readable group-writeable list, since I see few
reasons for truly private discussions about movementwide issues... but
as long as we have internal-l as currently designed, this topic seems
appropriate there too.
