[CCWG-ACCT] CCWG-Accountability - Preparing for WS2

[Greg Shatan]

I'm more concerned about a different area of (lack of) support:

"No note taking by staff, beyond action items, and no transcriptions."

This will make it more difficult to keep the thread of our work going from
week to week.

I think we may have relied too heavily on staff drafting of the actual
report in Work Stream 1.  While I don't necessarily relish substantial
drafting responsibilities, it's important that the end product be the work
of the community.  The staff (and in particular Bernie) did an amazing job,
but it still felt like an odd "intermediation" at times.

Meeting notes and transcriptions are important tools in getting to that
point.  Hopefully, the action items will be sufficiently detailed to allow
a meeting's results to be comprehensible to those that miss that call, but
something will be lost when the sole record of that meeting is a recording
and a bullet-point list of "action items."
