I've a degree in business, which included accounting, and have<br>
recently completed extra training on governance, so I'll comment on<br>
what I've seen; in context below;<br>

</span>Interesting, thanks. I've no issues with the numbers or transactions.<br>

</span>Quite a small data set, at only 333 MB.<br>

</span>Looking through the meeting minutes, you probably don't need to worry<br>
so much about this; the board members are entitled to full access to<br>
the data, read-only, and are obliged to keep the data as secure as<br>
posssible.<br>
<br>
Yes, it will include private identifiable information (PII) of Sugar<br>
Labs members or other participants. In dealing with Sugar Labs,<br>
people expect the board may see this PII.<br>
<br>
Not every board member will access the data, or have the knowledge to<br>
decode and understand the data. But they are entitled to it.<br>
<br>
Here's what I suggest;<br>
<br>
Don't make it available by posting a URL to any mailing list, not even<br>
slobs@, but instead send it privately to board members who request it,<br>
and include a way for board members to confirm they have the same copy<br>
of the file as other board members. e.g. with a digital signature or<br>
md5sum that you post on the slobs@ mailing list.<br>

<br>
</span>No, that is not necessary; as long as the board members know the data<br>
must be kept confidential to the board.<br>

<br>
</span>This and your follow-up messages on this thread could be pulled<br>
together into a single report to the board rather than a series of<br>
messages. It would make your intent clearer.<br>
<br>
A report to community may be different to a report to the board,<br>
containing less identifying information.<br>
