[amsat-bb] Confidentiality vs. Transparency

[Bruce Perens]

What Michelle reports reminds me very much of the recent Confidentiality
versus Transparency debacle at ARRL. They censured one of their own board
members just as Patrick and Michelle have been censured. And it was all
about keeping things away from the membership, which of course brought the
membership up in arms, and it originated in bad advice from corporate
attorneys.

The stars aligned for the confidentiality bloc to lose its majority in one
election. I don't believe that anyone is saying we should go back to the
old ARRL.
