I do not think it is a legal requirement that board meetings are help publicly. And I do not think it would be a good idea that we are required to discuss publicly only. As for the meeting in question, I for one, did not keep a copy of the log, and if some one did, I request to review it before it is possibly made public.
I think that in any cases, the log will tell you nothing more than you know, since the 4 of us agreed on the decision. What is currently disputed is whether we had the right or not to take that decision, not I hope that we had personally an opinion on the matter.
The meeting you are pointing out to, was not a board meeting, it was a general public meeting which hosted all those interested by setting up wikimedia website. We asked all participants before hand whether they agreed to have the log published, and they indeed did accept its publication.
greetings

Angela, thanks for the pointer. From http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Board_meetings I see that you offered the "full log" of your last meeting. Could please do the same for the last board meeting, the one that lead to the disputed result concerning wikispecies. Thanks.
best regards, Marco
