<div dir="ltr"><div>To be clear, my concern about a summarization process is less "honesty", and more simply basic competence :) If anything, I think centralizing most documentation in 1-2 places rather than throughout a thread would make it much easier to sniff out bad faith - it'd be much more apparent in the summary than in the knife-fighting of many argumentative threads. (And that applies to _any_ bad faith by any party, not just the submitter, like aggressive/misleading claims to authority, misleading or irrelevant claims about the history/intent of past licenses/documents, etc.)<br></div><div><br></div><div>But that assumes the summary gets written at all, with even the most basic grasp of the issues at play. In either case (competence or bad faith) a motivated board member or other volunteer could perhaps be very helpful there, if they could be found.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 20, 2019 at 6:32 PM Bruce Perens <<a href="mailto:bruce@perens.com">bruce@perens.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div>Pamela,<div><br></div><div>I think that this would introduce a constant source of tension and more argument.

I was thinking that the public nature of the document would keep the<br>
recordkeeper honest. (Although I suppose that then spawns a second<br>
generation dispute about whether the document is accurate.) But the<br>
person with primary responsibility for its currency and completeness<br>
doesn't have to have final authority on its accuracy. That lesser burden<br>
could reside in a volunteer third party or board member.<br>
<br>
Mostly I was just trying to figure out how to avoid putting more work on<br>
volunteers.<br>
