One day is too short; back in the good old days, when most of us suffered
jet lag after each meeting, a week to capture the minutes and copy-edit
them was hardly enough. But I do agree, this is a major duty of WG chairs
or secretaries, and needs to be done promptly. 

I wouldn't call it notes.ietf.org. I'd call it temp.ietf.org. Or at least,
put everything in notes.ietf.org/temp/ and move it to notes.ietf.org/recycle/
after 30 days and then to /dev/null after another 30 days. Something like
that, anyway, depending on how it would integrate with HedgeDoc.
