## Today's Board Meeting

I attended [today's Board
Meeting](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/30Jan2018BoardMeeting) 



but it seems that according to the [transparency
policy](http://www.openstack.org/legal/transparency-policy/) I can't
comment:


  No commenting on Board meeting contents and decisions until
  Executive Director publishes a meeting summary


That doesn't sound like transparency to me, but I assume there must be
reasons.


I was under the assumption that this only applied to board members, but
I am open to correction.

Can someone on legal-discuss clarify?


That is correct. As officers information published from Board members 
could be construed as "official" communication. The approach we've taken 
on this topic is that Board members refrain from publishing their 
thoughts/feedback/take/opinion/summary of a meeting until after Jonathan 
has published an 'official' summary of the meeting, at which point, 
since there is an official document we're free to comment as we desire.


There is nothing preventing anyone who is not a board member from 
publishing a summary or thoughts or live-tweeting the whole thing.


markmc has historically written excellent summaries and has posted them 
as soon as Jonathan's have gone out.


Gah. Didn't reply originally to openstack-dev.

Thanks, I assumed/hoped it was something like that but the blurb on
the wiki page[1] was ambiguous and I thought it better to point out the
ambiguity and see where that took us.

Somewhere good. So that's nice.
