Good morning Michael,

Thanks for sharing the summary about BIP process meeting.=20

> However, zero filters creates a Ethereum style bewildering number of BIPs=
 of varying quality that all need to be stored and maintained. The option o=
f being able to store a BIP in any repo doesn=E2=80=99t appear to offer mat=
erial upside (michaelfolkson). It still needs to get a BIP number from the =
BIP editors and if the alternative repo is deleted or the BIP champion beco=
mes unresponsive there is the problem of changing the location of where the=
 BIP is stored. It is much easier to monitor a single repo rather than an i=
nfinite number of repos that contain BIPs.

1.I want to avoid mentioning projects that are not decentralized however th=
e thing you mentioned is a feature not a bug. Neither anyone needs "quality=
" certificates from anyone nor approval. People are free to propose anythin=
g as improvement for Bitcoin. What gets implemented is a different thing. A=
lso BIP number doesn't make something legit, BIPs can have any names. Examp=
le: If I ever create draft a proposal to improve Bitcoin, it will be in my =
own repository and with a unique name.

2.I am surprised that few influential developers that wanted to improve BIP=
 process earlier by making it more decentralized were not present in either=
 meeting. Also no follow up here on mailing list. So decentralization was o=
nly required when you had some issues with Luke Dashjr? Few things are so o=
bvious that even a newbie who starts researching about Bitcoin from today c=
an observe such things.

I tried my best to ask more people to participate in the meeting by tweetin=
g, requested Christopher to attend the meeting and share his thoughts. Than=
ks everyone who was part of this meeting.
