## Today's Board Meeting
I attended [today's Board Meeting](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/30Jan2018BoardMeeting)
but it seems that according to the [transparency policy](http://www.openstack.org/legal/transparency-policy/) I can't comment:
No commenting on Board meeting contents and decisions until Executive Director publishes a meeting summary
That doesn't sound like transparency to me, but I assume there must be reasons.
I was under the assumption that this only applied to board members, but I am open to correction. Can someone on legal-discuss clarify?

That is correct. As officers information published from Board members could be construed as "official" communication. The approach we've taken on this topic is that Board members refrain from publishing their thoughts/feedback/take/opinion/summary of a meeting until after Jonathan has published an 'official' summary of the meeting, at which point, since there is an official document we're free to comment as we desire. There is nothing preventing anyone who is not a board member from publishing a summary or thoughts or live-tweeting the whole thing. markmc has historically written excellent summaries and has posted them as soon as Jonathan's have gone out.
