| Mar 31, 2021 at 13:32 | comment | added | Ravi Vakil | @EmilioPisanty I had not seen these standards before (I think), and I like the formalization! I don't think that it is retroactively changing anything to say that I think these rules apply. Also, I'm happy to answer questions as best I can. My main constraint is probably not secrecy but time. | |
| Mar 31, 2021 at 9:43 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | @Ravi Would you consider relaxing the disclosure of these discussions to Chatham House Rule standards? (not asking for it - just pointing it out as one successful and well known alternative to match the requirements you set.) | |

| Jan 8, 2021 at 2:04 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | @Lucia (and David Roberts): yes. We have this very much in mind as well, although I won't name specific names. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 1:20 | comment | added | David Roberts Mod | Aside from the other points, I also hope there can be some representation from various (mathematical) cultures. Not least because this will provide viewpoints on reception to MO that may be invisible to Anglophone, US/UK/etc users. | |
| Jan 7, 2021 at 19:51 | comment | added | Lucia | In general terms, this seems a good idea. But I'm not entirely sure why such discussions cannot take place openly and on Meta (I can certainly see some reasons for why you might want to do things differently, so this is just a gentle alternative suggestion). In any event, it would be good to include users outside the US in this; many MO discussions are extremely US-centric, and politics in the US is no model for anyone these days. I think YCor, Francesco Polizzi, Yemon Choi, Asaf Karagila and I'm sure many others would be good to have participate. | |
| Jan 7, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | Harry Gindi | If you know who Lucia and Francesco are, I hope you could invite both of them. Some people find it hard to get along with me online, but I think the two of them have some very valuable perspectives that I agree with and would like to see represented at the cabal (and I think they aren't as polarizing as I am) =]. | |
