[wp-forums] New Forum Posting

[James Huff]

We do greatly appreciate and thank you for all you've done!

There's no disrespect or loss of prestige intended, it's just that with the additional powers and access to user data, we decided that attendance to the public weekly meetings on a regular basis would have to be a requirement going forward.

I do encourage you to attend the next meetings, as we discuss and vote on matters like this all the time.

The meetings are Thursdays at 16:00 UTC, with the agenda always posted to https://make.wordpress.org/support/ before.
