The last that I heard the decision was to do nothing of the sort, but to produce an edited version of said minutes.Let us be honest - most people won't bother to read those minutes. (This would most often include me, unless an explosion of some sort occurs on the boards.)Some who do read them will come to wrong conclusions.And a few who read them just won't care -  they will be looking to see what might be coming down the pipe. (This might also include me.)But not making the minutes available helps spread distrust. The phrase 'It was decided' for example can hide both 'by whom' and 'why'. Most importantly it will show folks that a BoD meeting is a boring, necessary thing that they can be glad that they don't have to attend.I personally don't distrust the BoD. I don't even think that there is that big a conflict of interest. (But yes, I do think there is a little, or at least it's perception.) But I do think that they may need to step back, take a deep breath, and admit that there are a lot of people who, rightly or wrongly, think that there is a conflict of interest.Mynex in particular can be very argumentative when he believes he is under attack. He is also the motive force behing there being a PCGen, and in a lot of ways he may feel that it's 'his baby.' And in this he's right. Asking him to step out of the BoD is way to extreme, it is his baby.A lot of people are getting very hot over this subject, and some are getting very personal in their attacks (You know who you are) , this needs to be debated, not argued - yelling, flaming, and trolling just make people get even less likely to discuss things rationally. You might want to get some arbitration by an uninvolved party - both sides are getting too steamed to see clearly, but it does need to be dealt with before the entire project goes *flooey!*The Auld Grump</blockquote>
