[foundation-board] Guidelines for redacting the Board minutes

[Rufus Pollock]

I'm happy. Only change may be around 'libellous' (suggests we
regularly say libellous things -- perhaps phrase as; "redact specific
opinions offered on other groups or persons unless specifically
requested for these to be included" (purpose - so people can speak
freely without worrying about upsetting people ...)
