The "minutes" released to the public are ridiculously scant. I tried to find out more last year about the board's removing the identification requirement from those the WMF grants access to the non-public information of contributors, but ran into dead-ends. The only thing I could decipher really is that boardmember Samuel Klein raised the motion to remove the requirement.

Enjoying this discussion, glad to see it happening. One question I haven't seen addressed:
Are there notes kept during executive sessions?
Per the minutes policy listed on wiki yes they are kept; they are kept separate by the secretary and not published.

From what I've seen, it seems that the answer might be no -- and that doesn't seem good. Having minutes is not the same thing as publishing minutes; but keeping notes on private meetings, if only for the participants to return to when there is a need to refresh their memories
or
resolve disputes, seems important.
For similar reasons, I like the idea of video- or audio-recording
meetings,
*independent* of the question of whether such recordings should be more widely distributed.
