We've decided to make the Red Carpet visible, but not accessible, to the public; much in the manner of Congressional proceedings on C-Span.

The opening will be accompanied by an additional administrative facility for policy makers.

interesting.

do you forsee an adjunct 'journalistic' posting springing up in the other forums; pseudo-response & third-person references?

preservation of minutes - commercial/political, very true.

Hellooo out there...

whoa that's loud

Why not just move all the posts in Red Carpet to General and shut down Red Carpet?

How about forming a “Minutes Forum”, where the public can scrutinize our procedure; while keeping the Red Carpet invisible?

There's security and transparency.

Scared me there, thought you'd dumped the Red Carpet in one fell swoop. So now we can only find this place if we have a direct link to it?

I like that idea better, Unter.

will you be moving previous threads in here to the 'minutes' section? to exemplify what it's about?

There's a link in the upper right next to “Membership”.  And as regards historical polls; should we retroactively seed the Minutes, or start afresh?

retroactively seeding it would set the tempo for exactly how we'd like to see the forum utilized.

or, we could let it take a life of it's own, similar in the way Works in Progress did.

i think we should at least put some votes in there . . . IE: ReaperCreeper Altho that needs to have a final decision still . . .
