@bkuhn perhaps your thoughts about #ftf-legal are comparable to mine about the legendary #osi-discuss !establishment

Actually that's not true. Someone on #FTF-Legal posted that @keynote2k became #ELN member. Nevertheless.

@fontana,but if #ftf-legal exists for members to interact w/ "profound expertise in Free Sw legal matters", wouldn't they *want* to know me?

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana, yes, my point was that I'm *not* famous. I'd easily bet 1:1 that < 10 #ftf-legal members even know who I am w/out a net.search.

@bkuhn Indeed sociopolitical complexity here is interesting; #FSFE and #FTF-Legal are not part of !establishment I would argue

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana,your statement hints that a vote's required by #ftf-legal list members for new members to join;Otherwise,why would your a-c matter?

Richard Fontana Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn Suspect more people on #FTF-Legal who (a) don't know who you are, (b) don't care, & (c) don't want you there than who want you on

@bkuhn E.g. I hereby tell the world that I'm on #FTF-Legal list. This is now public info even for other subscribers.

@jxself Indeed only case I have ever heard of someone being denied #FTF-Legal membership is @bkuhn, which also suggests not arbitrary.

Richard Fontana Red Hat , Jason Self

@jxself I don't think membership in #FTF-Legal is arbitrary and capricious. E.g. I'm fairly confident any !RedHat lawyer could get on.

@bkuhn My knowledge of @keynote2k membership in #FTF-Legal is entirely extrinsic to FTF-Legal, for example.

@fontana, I can't see how #ChathamHouseRule ™ could *possibly* allow naming people who are on #ftf-legal in a public forum. Can you explain?

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana,I remember those trolls. I ∴ think #ftf-legal rule:"Discussions…are always conducted in a professional & respectful tone" is great!

Bradley M. Kuhn Richard Fontana

@fontana, IIRC, In a 4 yr period: I was nominated for #ftf-legal by 2 different ppl & attempted about 6 non-nominated subscription requests.

@bkuhn Having done some research, I think adoption of #ChathamHouseRule represents liberalization of #FTF-Legal policy

Bradley M. Kuhn Free Software Foundation , Richard Fontana , Matija Šuklje

@fontana, BTW,your dent revealing fact that a particular person is on #ftf-legal appears to me to be #Chatham House violation. @hook, is it?

Jason Self Bradley M. Kuhn , Matija Šuklje

@bkuhn Helps confirm #FTF-Legal membership done is an arbitrary and capricious manner, then they back-justify a reason. !fsfe @hook

Richard Fontana Matija Šuklje

@hook : @bkuhn claims he's routinely denied admittance as subscriber to #FTF-Legal mailing list. http://ur1.ca/9i7jd Any response? #twwiw
