this caught my eye:
isn't "completely invisible participant" equivalent to "wiretap"?

If it means "invisible to everyone but the one who granted access to the 
conference", I don't have a problem with it. And I don't think you should 
change the charter to address this concern.

But it's the kind of thing that comes back and haunts you if you're not 
careful.
