No it is not cheap publicity. It is about accountability. That is why it
should be there. Almost all websites (and even software) put up that part in
the 'about us' section (in the old site too it was that way). The option is
to have a separate sections. So please let it be part of it.
We have huge sets of rules to say what is under whose control and we must have
more.

That chat -log does not have enough content. It is mainly about problems
with .org, within ilug-cal and the evolution of .info. It is better to keep
it a little inside (the link can be on the Front page). We must have +ve
content on the 1st page. So please let it be inside. Henceforth all
''please'' should be assumed.
