Along with concerns mentioned above I'd add that I have never seen scribes capture things consistently well: at best they manage a terse summary which misses a lot and more generally what ends up being written bares little or no resemblance to what was actually said and misses the point. At times I have tried to correct what's been captured of what I've said, but generally it is so off I don't bother, preferring to follow the continuing conversation, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. None of this is the fault of scribes, who I am very thankful to for the effort, it just seems we're asking more from folks than they can deliver. I've also noted in all the meetings I attend apart from one with a dedicated scribe, the effort to get someone to volunteer is becoming increasingly cumbersome and protracted; its understandable because, as Joel noted, it means you're not able to participate, which defeats the purpose for attending the meeting. If we could figure out a way of using an automated transcription, I think it would be a service to all concerned. Failing that, a dedicated scribe would be a less preferred option, but better than having to ask folks who want to contribute to sacrifice their participation. -- GitHub Notification of comment by bmayd Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/patcg/meetings/issues/10#issuecomment-1016910566 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
