This is intended to allow for candid discussion amongst participants.

Are you saying that the discussions on the Boost mailing list are not candid, since they are public?

No I'm not -- it's ISO's rule/theory not mine. I really doubt the committee benefits from that rule, but it's not up for negotiation. That being said, I've submitted private reviews to the author and review manager -- and yes you can do that. So the assumption that all the conversation about boost is public isn't true either. Why did I do that? Mostly because I had an opinion about a library and not enough time to fully review and post. Or maybe I'm using the library in a production system and I'd like it in Boost, but maybe I'm not free to share that publicly. Jeff
