able to be done practically after the meeting is over tend to have no real experience with writing and managing minutes at the international non-profit board level and may not fully understand why it it is important that they are correct before they're published. Publicly presenting an early, uncorrected draft will lead to nothing but tears, but there are 9 board members (plus individual presenters) who have to read, correct and approve [sections of] the minutes. The WMF Board is not and should not be the most important person in the lives of any of our board members.
What sort of problems are envisioned from public drafting of minutes lead by a dedicated secretary/minute-wrangler (ideally a professional staff member with experience doing this and enough time to dedicate to it rather than double-booking a trustee or a C-level)?
