Fair enough -- if there is a legitimate concern of spam, best to
address the problem as early as possible.

I don't have experience with spam on Etherpad, but we have been using
Etherpad for minutes of the QA Team meetings. It's handy for people to
be able to see the minutes as I type them out and for them to make
small corrections when the audio on the call is garbled, I misspell a
name, etc.

As long as all of the people who want to join-in on the QA call can
use the pad, then #2 is fine with me.
