Whether it's FOIA or the Federal Advisory Committee Act, there's a presumption that full transparency is good.
Yet everyone knows that if you want to have an honest discussion about anything, you have to promise "Chatham House Rules."
Time to rethink FOIA & FACA?

I'm mostly thinking about emails, not all the many other types of records. Basically everyone in government knows to say "let's hop on a call" or to switch to Signal etc., before they say something candid.
