Sarven, I’d appreciate if comments on this were based on direct
participation in the meeting.

Regarding your comments on the Social CG meeting, where you were not
present, these are draft minutes that haven’t been approved yet. I
recognize that I speak quickly in meetings, so I want to clarify:

What I actually said was that all three chairs were either employed by or
had previously been employed by the same firm. I have also mentioned this,
in more detail, publicly on the Solid mailing list for transparency.

If there’s a misunderstanding, I’d be happy to clarify directly—resolving
these things out-of-band first is usually best practice. Let’s do that now
and keep the discussion focused.
