There is a difference here.  The board constantly deals with things of a
nature that can't be made public at the time of the board meeting.
FESCo /never/ has that, as whenever it runs into a legal issue, it gets
bounced up to the board (or just fedora legal directly).

We are going to make a concerted effort to provide more visibility into
the non-sensitive matters that are discussed at board meetings, but
we'll continue to do the meetings in a phone manner due to the high
bandwidth and better feel for what is being said.
