You may be right. However, the good thing about meeting minutes is that you can skip over things. Actually, it is sometimes better to read the minutes than be present in the meetings... ;)

However, I would really find real minutes useful, and I would not believe that it imposes impossible work load for the IESG.

I find ID tracker extremely useful, but I still believe that it serves a bit of a different purpose than meeting minutes. I think they are complementing things instead of mutually exclusive. I think they should hold a bit of different topics (e.g. WG creation, charter discussions)

Cheers,
