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.
