Everyone seems to be missing the point that the existence and the operation of these Closed Door Meetings falsifies the claims that Wikipedia supporters are constantly making about the Openness and the Transparency of the Wikipedia decision-making process, claims that they exploit on a daily basis to deceive their Participants, the Press, and the Public at Large.
