Comments:
Valid point, Jaffa, thanks for suggesting. It seems that most of the time, it's rather about not trashing public mail with very specific question, aimed @ only one person - but, if we've used it for CA, there is no reason we couldn't do same for anything else, not requiring to remain private.

Thanks for publishing the minutes, it's much appreciated and a definite improvement over the preceding council.
One comment, though: on the IRC/op policies discussion, although I understand the disagreement about the chair emailing X-Fade directly; why isn't that discussion happening on maemo-community (which X-Fade reads, and is sufficiently low traffic (again ;-)) that the council should be subscribed with immediate delivery)?
I would suggest that every time the council is considering using council@maemo.org, or emailing someone about maemo.org, they consider "does this have a reason to be private?" Most of the time the answer should be "no", and so maemo-community should be used instead.
