[council] Request for the NC conference call on July 27th

[Elisabeth PORTENEUVE <Elisabeth.PORTENEUVE@cetp.ipsl.fr>]

Council,

I was unable to attend the last NC conference call on July 12th,
and was unable to put forward some reasons for not publicly
archiving council@dnso.org list.

There is a need to have a non-public list for some logistic matters:
      - telephone number and access code for the NC call
      - phone number (sometimes private) or email address necessary
        to join DNSO secretariat or any of member of the NC
        during his vacations/travels
      - fixing typos or English language traps or awkwardness
        (all of us are not English fluent)
      - fixing text formats

If the council@dnso.org is not such a list, we will end up
with emails send to explicit lists set up by everybody
(typos and missings of everybody), and it will be much worst
that the list. Could you imagine all Joe.Spammer@some.where
quotating private telephone numbers or calling you when you
are asleep ? Or accusing you for the lack of English language skills ?

The council@dnso.org is a large body (more than 20 persons),
with elected members trusted by the corresponding constituency.
It is sufficient that the council@dnso.org publicly commit
to the DNSO GA that all non-logistic matters will be sent
to the ga list. Then any of council members will be in position
of reminding the group that some subjects should go to the
ga list.

There is a need for openess and transparency, but beyond some
point it became a terror paralysing everybody, and destroying
the democracy.
