i beg to differ.  heck, forget the begging :)

when it is a personnel or analogous issue, sure

but when it affects our community, it should be open.  and 'politics'
affects our community.  the icann/iana saga should have been open.
the ietf prides itself on being open.  well, we should walk the walk.

btw, politics is what happens when more than one person is involved.
