+1 Excellent suggestion. Indeed I am sure the candidates would appreciate the extra time to put up responses to the questions in their own words on meta, rather than partial notes by others on etherpad.

That could have been a solution, which I believe we lacked to think about sadly.
However, I believe the questions were noted to be sent to some of the candidates, perhaps a good way would be to republish them and ask them to answer on meta ?

For organizations that pride themselves on openness and transparency, being told that WMF Board Trustee candidates have made speeches, been asked questions and taken part in thoughtful discussion about our Wikimedia Movement in closed sessions that will remain unpublished, seems a long way from being open or transparent.
I feel this could have been easily and cheaply made open, simply by anyone with a smartphone recording some of the Q&A and putting the file on Commons. Even poor quality reporting is better than apparent secrecy.
