[Gendispatch] Re: New draft: draft-rescorla-auto-minutes-00

[Joel Halpern <[e-mail]>]

As was discussed in the past, I believe this misses the point of the 
minutes.  I do not object to having the recordings and transcripts.  But 
those do not highlight the decisions and action points, which is the 
primary purpose of the minutes.

Yours,

Joel
