It can't be authenticated, i.e., it's trivial to spoof. In other words, any node can quench any other node.

The meetings are not being recorded and there isn’t a place to upload the contributions.  This would be an improvement that IETF could make to the process.

Any organizer of a side meeting can minute the meeting (as you did here) and make materials available, e.g., on GitHub.
