This year's board is being consistent at asking projects to follow the reporting guidelines, which have been published and sent to PMCs a number of times:

  http://apache.org/foundation/board/reporting

In particular, it's likely the board will be asking for the date of the last release, as well as the date(s) of last committer or PMC member changes to be added to the report. Similarly, board reports are most properly seen as "let the board know the current community health of the project as a whole", so data or comments about activity levels within the project, knowing that questions on the mailing lists are being answered, etc. are things the board likes to see.

Board reports are important to allow the board to provide the proper oversight for all 140+ Apache projects. They're mostly focused internally, to our own organization (i.e. the Foundation as a corporation, and our project communities) and not externally as any sort of marketing or publicity mechanism (although obviously, the board does publish public minutes of all meetings after approval).
