It is important that any reporting does not become a massive burden compared

Hopefully, we can find a way for the staff to provide you with what
you need to know to fulfil your duties as a trustee that can very
easily be used to also keep the community informed about what is
happening. Hopefully the amount that will need redacting will be very
small, so it shouldn't be too much work.
In order to correctly budget for different projects and monitor their
effectiveness, there needs to be some monitoring of how much time the
staff are spending on different things. That should be very easy to
just publish on the wiki - it should be very rare for the staff to be
working on something so secret that even their timesheet would need
more than minimal redaction. Even if it is too much work to write
detailed reports about what they're doing (we do need to leave them a
little time for actually doing their jobs!), it would be useful to at
least know what they are spending time on.
