Since there is no effective difference between today's OS.o Members and tomorrow's "newly elected OGB member", what benefit is there to keeping this info opaque? At some point in the future, everyone [who gets elected] has a chance of seeing it... Maybe the right answer is to expose the archives on a lagging 1-year (or 1-OGB-term) basis or something like that - private while the topics are fresh, public after it no longer matters. $0.02, -John
