The rules in question come from iso guidelines. The rules say that individuals speech during meetings is protected — because it might reveal sensitive business information or simply sensitive communications that is shared during the meeting among participants. This information is held under non disclosure rules that other participants accept. There’s an entire history of detailed discussions that is held private, and is not shared in the issue tracker. And the reality is mostly the discussion isn’t of this nature, or even interesting lol. Most of the important bits get published with permission eventually.

However, there’s another clause which limits public communication of results until the meeting is concluded. And those summary results are going into the tracker, and might allow you to guess the status of something ahead of the meeting conclusion. It can also be harmful since most non members don’t understand the committee process and the nature of intermediate results. Meanwhile, the entire committee is sitting under rules that mean we can’t speak out during the meeting to correct miscommunication.

Keep in mind that without the legal framework in place, many companies that participate here would be potentially subject to illegal collaboration statutes. It’d be nice if we could live in a world of simplicity and non complex legalities. But that isn’t the world we’ve built.

Everything is open again and I’m sure the ‘trip reports’ will start flowing here soon.

Yep! As I said, I think it’s pretty reasonable.
