It kind of bugs me that the board votes, the discussion, and especially the board's rationalization for those votes aren't visible to everyone. I'm thinking the votes need to be handled publicly on this forum stickied just as community votes are (albeit only with the board members having votes). I have nothing against any particular board members but the secretive nature of the board makes understanding their votes quite difficult. Further it makes holding the members accountable for their votes hard to accomplish which makes the entire system seem rather arbitrary. I would also like the ability for community members and candidates alike to be able to present their cases to the board if there's something we feel they're overlooking.
What do you guys think? Should the board be transparent? Should the community member's input be a part of the process?
