Sorry, but I think these questions are flawed. A better question is: do 
the member of the chapter have a suitable and working place where to 
discuss among themselves to carry out their duties and rights as members 
of the chapters, as defined by the bylaws?
(One is not always easy to set up.)

So that's *the* mailing list for all the internal discussions of the 
board? If it's public, then these is indeed higher "transparency" than 
in most chapters (not that this is necessarily a good thing); on the 
other hand it does not replace an all-members discussion space.
