It is customary to have people report on what they hear, not on what was
said before they arrived in the meeting or after they left. 

The person I wrongly refered to as the "official scribe" was a
member of the Names Council who happened to be there at the beginning of
the meeting, was asked to take notes and heard all the 
conversation.

For the record, Tony, are you here representing yourself or NSi?
