    CAUTION: EXTERNAL SENDER

    Hi Web Advertising BG,

    We launched this group in participant-and-member-confidential mode,
    where the minutes are shared only with participants and W3C members.
    Participants have recently expressed a preference for working in
    public,[1] as W3C's spec-writing working groups and incubator groups do.
    They've said that would make it easier to engage more participants in
    the proposal discussions and the transition to spec work.

    This is a call for consensus to work in public going forward.

    That means making future meeting minutes publicly viewable. I do not
    propose to change the confidentiality of anything that has previously
    been created. If we make this change, we will still have the option to
    change the default for individual discussions, e.g. to Chatham House
    Rule (no attribution) for data-sharing.

    If you have any concerns with this plan, please respond on this (public)
    list by our next call, Tuesday, 23 June. Supporting comments welcome.
    Silence will be considered consent. The 23 June call will still be
    conducted member-confidential for the opportunity to consider any
    objections.

    Thanks!
    --Wendy
