I would not completely agree with you. I agree that they are better than nothing, but they can hardly be even considered as meeting minutes. They tend to list only the results of the meeting but no actual discussions. In addition, what I would like to see is also the IESG meeting agendas (before the meetings), and the meeting calendar. I think these would help the people to see if their favorite documents are progressing and when. This should not be too much trouble for the IESG (or maybe these are the chair's job... ;)

Cheers,

Jonne.
