cjl raised this issue:

As a practical matter, this one is difficult may be difficult for
Sugar Labs to achieve (particularly, "permitted to hear") as our PLC
discussions are held in an open IRC forum and openness is a
philosophical position within our project. Can we narrow this
restriction for PLC members to "participate" while allowing
"hearing" on an equal footing with all project members?

This change reworks that section to allow for after-the-fact reading of
logs and/or minutes by the conflicted Person, but does not allow them to
attend the meeting except to disclose facts, etc.
