Hi, Adam<br>
<br>
I don't think this is relevant to this motion. Clearly, if such a
negotiation were to happen, the Board could move to consider the <br>
matter in 'executive session'. In the meantime, there is no reason
not to make votes public (and the discussion of them in the meetings
<br>
which is already public.)<br>

It is my belief (hope) that the only time a vote is
only sent to one list rather than both is when there
is an oversight by the sender. Vote should be public,</div>

<div>Should but not must.<br>
<br>
There can be (have been, and might be in future be) times
when Sugar Labs needs in-the-interim-confidential
negotiations with billion-dollar sponsor/ally governments
and orgs or all kinds.<br>
<br>
Naturally merger/acquisition or multimillion-dollar
sponsorship situations affect almost everyone, who cannot
all be at the negotiating table, nor can all Board members
cannot possibly always agree.<br>
<br>
Hence it's generally a legal/fiduciary responsibility of
the Executive Director (or similar) to consult privately
with the Board in these kinds of high-stakes situations --
keeping as many as possible apprised of deliberations --
while preserving interim confidentiality wherever and
whenever necessary to protect the full/strategic interests
of 501(c)3 Sugar Labs.<br>
