Hi Jonathan, because of travel I was not able to attend the meeting. W3C has several setups that may help. A public working group does not mean that everybody can just join a meeting or dial into the WG Call. We have a member confidential list. So we can send the (changed) conference call details there to avoid unwanted people to join. This doesn't prevent leaking of course. But it is different from the current setup where we publish dial-in information to the public. The charter only talks about the publication of the proceedings, not of all our talks. Proceedings are minutes and the mailing-list and the Drafts. Not all conversation. So we have that option. BTW, I don't think a "Policy" will help because we do not have any power arbitrary press folks smuggling into a call.
