doc: discourage private TSC meeting and document process
Establish the principal that TSC meeting should be public and written communication is preferred for private topics. Also, propose a process for recording private meetings, if possible. The goal of this proposal is to make sure that private sections, especially the one without recordings, remain rare exceptions that need to be justified and double checked, and to prevent them from being a habit or a norm. The norm should be publicly streamed meetings and written communications.
