[foundation-board] Guidelines for redacting the Board minutes

[Becky Hogge]

Hi again all

I've worked up a brief set of guidelines for redacting the Board
minutes for publication. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Becky

Redacting the minutes - guideline
=========================
  * Concentrate on recording resolutions and actions.
  * Redact discussion points where they appear in the full minutes as
they rarely reflect the totality of discussion - record only that a
discussion took place, and the subject of that discussion.
  * Remove discussions about matters where the Board has been
approached in confidence.
  * Remove or redact discussions of individuals not on the Board of
Directors, unless those individuals have granted their specific
permission to be included.
  * Remove discussions of individuals and organisations that have a
good chance of being libellous.
  * Record the outcome of all items on the agenda, even if those items
were held over for discussion at a later date.
