Who cares who watches?  And who cares who watches the watchers?

I have seen well meaning people have meetings and make agreements about 
drafts, then forget and
just assume that the idea was part of the consensus on the list.

I would opt for everything as open as possible. The less secrets the 
IETF has the healthier it will remain
as there will be no dark corners that other can assume contain hidden 
agreements or ideas.
