Our discussions, which include drafting work, are supposed to be
public.  The Committee isn't supposed to hide in secret and then come
out with decisions.  `Discussion .... [is] made public ...'.

The `tweaks' stuff is to do with how the committee operates, and was
similar enough to the question of appointments (which we can discuss
in secret) that I let it slide.
