doc: improve transparency and inclusivity of TSC meetings
Establish the principal that TSC meeting should be public as much as possible and that decisions should not be made in meetings, and must be taken back to asynchronous communication for inclusivity and future reference. Also, summary should be posted for private meetings to ensure transparency and inclusivity, the visibility of the summary depends on whether the outcome of the discussion is public.

While TSC meeting may be used to improve the efficiency of the discussion,
129+
decision making must be taken back to asynchronous communication to ensure
130+
that all members can participate and that the context of the decision is
131+
documented for posterity.
132+
133+
In principal, topics discussed in the TSC meetings should be public and
134+
streamed, so that a recording can also be made publicly available afterwards.
135+
Exception may be given to discussions related to security, legal matters,
136+
personnel or other sensitive topics that require confidentiality. In these
137+
cases, the discussion should at least be summarized and posted to a written
138+
channel. If the outcome of the discussion is public, a summary should be
139+
made public as well, even with a delay to prevent premature disclosure
140+
(e.g. in the case of security), so that the community can understand the
141+
context and decisions made, even if they cannot see the details of the
142+
discussion.
