The first hour of the meeting, 8.30-9.30pm, will be held by Skype conference. This part of the meeting will be discussions, not decisions, and will essentially be focused on making sure that all of the board members are on the same page, and to identify issues that need resolution or deciding upon. Due to technical limitations, it won't be possible to have this part of the meeting open to the public.
What technical limitations? Skype can handle public voice conferences with some people voiced and some just listening.
