The fact that Cyberspace's board meetings are public does not mean they should
be broadcast freely and openly on the web.

The reasons should be obvious (if only because Grex doesn't want to further
alienate the few volunteers it has), but public at some sandwich shop does
not mean the same thing as broadcast for everyone to see, and for good reason.

Why shouldn't the board meetings be public on the web? The board might get
more serious about the business of the organization.

resp:15: Please elaborate on the obvious reasons, because I'm not seeing
them.  What are the good reasons?  I might agree with limiting the
viewing to people who have accounts on grex and authenticate to get the
file, but beyond that I can't find the logic to suggest there are good
reasons to disallow this.

I don't even see why access should be limited to folks with Grex
accounts.  How could that even be enforced?  You never know who's
looking over someone's shoulder.

Grex Board meetings have always been open to the public,
not requiring a Grex account for admission.  In early times, for
practical reasons, this meant attendance was limited to folks who
could physically haul their bodies to the meeting site, but with
current technology, that restriction seems a bit artificial.

resp:18: I meant only people with a grex account could download or view
the meeting (they'd have to authenticate to the webserver to access the
file).  Obviously there is nothing preventing someone from sitting in an
office and letting everyone watch.  For the record, I'm not suggesting
that be done, just saying that if someone objects to it being totally
free for anyone to just hit the website and download, it could be
protected in that way and at least require authentication first.

All these discussions of what the board *could* be doing are irrelevant.
The fact is that Grex isn't doing those things and hasn't been for years.
Just broadcast the meetings.

The next BOD meeting is scheduled for March 7th.  I believe I can attend 
and would be happy to bring along what is needed to simulcast the meeting 
as well as make an audio file of it for those who'd like to listen to it 
later on their own schedule.

These are open meetings.  Is there support for going this route and 
including everyone who is interested in being part of the process?
