I find this one a bit prescriptive / conservative. This process is in
the interests of transparency; we could have lengthy conversations on
whatever issue not connected to an action or resolution and it would
be in the interest of the wider community to know the board's
thoughts.

Perhaps explicitly cover removing matters that have a sensitive
commercial element - however better to express it - such as the long
debt from COI.

Otherwise it looks great.
Sorry to have missed this the first time around.
