Public IRC logs

I'd like to propose that the old (say >1 month) IRC logs of Board meetings are archived onto the private wiki space. I appreciate these logs can be useful for understanding the decisions - and writing and verifying the minutes - immediately after meetings, but their usefulness after then I imagine is quite limited. Please let me know what you think below. AndrewRT 23:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I know I've asked this before, but for the benefit of everyone else could you explain the reasoning behind this? Transparency should always be the default, there should be a specific reason for keeping something private. --Tango 23:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
I didn't realise you had asked this before! My concern is that we're ending up with a huge amount of public information out there. This increases the risks for people who go onto the Board - they may inadvertantly reveal their contact details in some way for instance - and I'm not sure I understand the benefit.

Maybe I asked mpeel. I certainly discussed this with someone a few days ago. I understand the reasons, and don't particularly disagree with them, but I thought it better if you explained it yourself rather since it is your proposal. --Tango 00:58, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
