I was asking whether the outcome of each of the discussion phases are recorded/archived in the form of annotations against each word pair in the final list. For example, if the original list (say, for desktop applications) had a specific word-pair and, post the discussions some of the pairs were modified with more appropriate ones, is there a process to record who suggested the changes, what the thought behind the changes were etc. As an illustrative example - how do you record and archive discussions/suggestions like <https://twitter.com/kajha/status/276251543974584320> The ability to record and preserve this would be a valuable resource in the future. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan>

It was also felt prudent not to name persons for words finalized, but project it as collective work of the group who sat for it. As for records & preservation best way out would be to record audio of workshop, or at best have couple of person dedicated to keeping such a record. In last meeting while most terms which were finalized quick enough (based on suggested list), some contentious ones were kept separate and debated in detail and even voted upon. Maybe such a vote track could be kept. But all these efforts primarily being voluntary it becomes an overburden to add more to expectations, than beyond getting a list of terms agreed upon. Off course, with lack of such records, in future the exercise might be questioned upon by organizations/individuals who feel have better mandate in such matters, but who themselves lacked the initiative, or foresight to do it. Perhaps it could be done but might need 4 day workshop instead of two, or double the number participants (which in anyways increases the noise level more than useful debate). Karunakar
