Dear all,
We said we'd work together to collate responses to our request for input
in advance of our BoF and I was meant to get that activity started ten
days ago, but I failed to do this. I'm sorry about this -- I've been on
a sort-of vacation and haven't been looking at my scheduled tasks in the
way I normally would.
I have, however, been gathering message-ids of feedback we received, and
this morning I've gone through these and extracted those which I think
are broadly in line with our interests and intentions for this reform
project, such that we should try to incorporate them into our plan for
the talk.
I've extracted a few bullet points from each item to make it easier to
slot these into a talk plan, but we'd want to reread the actual mail
when doing that, rather than relying on my bullet points.

- still no design work, but ideas and working groups
- issue opinions on parameters an ideal solution would have then
endorse the design
id:20200727182330.GA21338@layer-acht.org
- we should carefully explain the "no design work" thing to avoid
misunderstanding and sidetracking (incorporate Marga's reply to
Holger's message)
id:36079A44-9B0E-4836-97F1-6154B830A6B9@beckenbach.us
- explain how we handle non-technical issues at present
- explain what is done to mitigate the TC being a nuclear option, plus
possibility of using former TC members for this
id:tslft9br4yq.fsf@suchdamage.org
- when it comes to non-technical issues, we should consider focusing
on the problem of replacing maintainers, as we're the only body that
can do this
- descriptions of how replacing maintainers doesn't work so well atm
id:011719ac-d3a1-7dd4-02ad-aeb5b74a30fc@debian.org
- useful remarks on private discussions
- what could go wrong if we allow some way of doing design work
[I think Matthew is onto something important here]
- separate body which is not one of last resort.
There were some other messages which were certainly interesting, but
which I didn't think could be actionable within our current conception
of the scope of the reform project. But we could come back to them
after the current project has concluded.
