My suggestion was to have a conference call in parallel with the IRC chat line.

We can probably agree to disagree here, which is ok ;) From what I have observed, these meetings are slow-rolling and somewhat chaotic. A lot more can be covered by talking rather than by typing, and usually over telephone there is focus on one conversation/topic at a time, unlike over chat, which seems to spawn off several parallel conversations that make it harder to keep track of what is actually being discussed.

When it comes to interpersonal communication, online chat is a blunt instrument inferior to using voice for a number of natural reasons. As far as transparency of web team meetings, that's a different topic altogether, not sure why you bring it up here.  The web team conference call is open to anyone in the community and if you feel like I miss something in the meeting notes, you have the opportunity to comment when I pass them around prior to sending to the web list, which is open to the public.

For me personally, it is easiest to chat using voice and to keep meeting minutes using pen and paper.
