I think you are missing my

I think you are missing my points entirely. No-one suggested that people’s names shouldn’t appear in the minutes, but I am saying I for one, and I am sure others may agree, do NOT want the minutes published openly and freely for all too see on a forum. It is indiscrete and off-putting to potential members. Openess and access to information and not nessecarily the same as publishing EVERYTHING in the public domain. Much information is freely available upon request, but that is not the same as posting that information here there, and everywhere. I am sure if I asked nicely, you’d show me your living room, but I do not expect you to live in a house with no front door and open access for everyone who walks by. This does not equate to secrecy.
And as for the deafening silence, perhaps members don’t spend their entire waking lives trawling the SPGB website to see if their names have been published and attendance at a meeting does not imply consent to publish this information. For the record I am NOT happy about such information being published and wasn’t aware that it was unitl I came here today to catch up on news in the Party.
And regards the situation with the branch, this is for the branch to decide at the meeting and judge how serious it is – mellow dramatic descriptions about jeopardy and the like are neither factual nor helpful.
