You're right when you imply that most members will not attend many 
'open' Board meetings (or at least might only pop in for a few minutes). 
But I do not think that even if all 50+ XSF members that the meeting 
would descend into chaos, and even if it did, at least that would keep 
us all alert.

We want to achieve 2 things here:

1. Transparency
2. Transparency without a great deal of effort :-)

Open Board meetings or 'some' Open Board meetings and publishing the 
chat logs would achieve this.

Will.
