[members-discuss] External thoughts on the Executive Board Election TF

Hi,

(directed to EB)
The archives appear to be gone, this needs to be fixed.

(directed to Harry)
The doodles were just scheduling times when the TF members were available
for calls.

to allow them to be involved in the discussion.

This is not quite true, it was the Executive Board who called for the Task
Force to be created to write a report of suggested changes that the EB
could present to the members for them to vote on.

still give their view.

Sadly I don't think this would have worked at all if it was a public
mailing list. We needed a group of people who were invested into the issue
and not have a bunch of comments from all over the place.
The diversity-tf is/was(?) an open mailing list, that pretty much failed in
my opinion due to it, and I think that this TF would have had the same
outcome if it was open.
