I personally would like to see both the weekly email agenda and the
recording meeting to Ogg. 

It shouldn't be a huge amount of work (as I'm assuming you already have
an agenda and using computer for conference) and would open help people
see what is going on in the council.

I quite liked the president's report which use to occur last year, you
can still find them here
