I don't think there is anything wrong with an expert group meeting in private to discuss ideas and issues. However, I think all decision making should be done in a forum that can be viewed publicly. The arguments for or against each issue being decided should be publicly available. I don't think the public should necessarily be involved in the decision making process but there should be a public forum where anyone can ask questions and give feedback to the expert group.
