Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the quick and substantive reply.

Finally, there is the Board, which takes care of the organizational
stuff regarding the Foundation: finance, planning summits, managing
voting, and steering our 'teams'. Board meetings are open, and take
place in <xmpp:x...@muc.xmpp.org>, just like member meetings, and
also logged. Most of the XSF discussion happens on the members mailing list.
The member meetings would be regular meetings as stated in Section
5.3 of the XSF by-laws.
I do notice that out website doesn't clearly show where the XSF MUC
room archives are. That's something we should address.
Ok.
I looked up the Financial summary (
http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/xsf/xsf-financial-summary/ ). It was last
updated in 2008. In my humble opinion providing raw logs is not
welcoming for anyone who would like to gain an understanding of what
the XSF Board does. I do understand that it is paperwork and it may
not seem relevant to the development of XMPP standards. However, the
world out there tends to give undue attention to paperwork. Having
501(c)(3) status is not inviting when there aren't timely publicly
accessible reports.
On an unrelated note, I was puzzled when I could not find any comment
from the XSF Board about a matter which is directly related to the
primary mission in light of current events (see
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg82679.html ).
Regards,
