Re: Future Handling of Blue Sheets

[Ted Hardie <[e-mail]>]

As a clarifying question, did the IESG discuss whether the image of
the blue sheets might be made available online under other terms of
use, rather than within the proceedings?  For example, making these
available to anyone with a tools login, so that anyone willing to
register as a user has access, but they are not broadcast?

regards,

Ted Hardie
