Very sorry about the late reply, I've been involved with moving preparations this week. I was going to be traveling on the 4th, but now I'm able to stay home, so I'll be free.

This is what I think: since neither this nor the last "mini-Daimyo Kai" was formally announced, I think that any discussions that happen should be unofficial and non-binding. If we want to make any official changes to policy, or create new policies, we should reconvene officially to ratify those changes, and give anyone who wants to show up the chance to be heard, after advertising it at least a week in advance.

These mini-Daimyo-kai should be recorded only in so far as someone who says they want to be there fails to make it, so they can see what all was discussed. But less so for transparency reasons, since nothing discussed should be viewed as formal decision-making, since they are unannounced, unlike most (if not all) past Daimyo-kai. The extent to which we retain those records, after whomever they were created for has had a chance to view them, is up to the admins.

Overall I think these informal meetings should only be for simple discussion and planning; any policies that come up can be discussed, and then if we want to make a decision, we can have an official Daimyo-kai, announce it so people who want to comment on the process can do so, and then ratify any changes at the end. Or otherwise discuss it on talk or forum pages.

What do you guys think?
