* Anna (via email): I personally feel that the new board members should just be added to the "ebc-board" group now and also be able to join our in camera discussions at the meetings. The separate, temporary "ebc-board-elect" group is often forgotten in replies when we send around emails and I think there is a need for transparency in all board matters from the very beginning, not just starting in December when the new board members officially take their positions. I currently have all new board members (Caylie, Jason, Kristen, Meghan, Steve, Douglas) on the "ebc-board" group so if we decide that this is not desired, please let me know asap so I can change the group settings. | * Anna (via email): I personally feel that the new board members should just be added to the "ebc-board" group now and also be able to join our in camera discussions at the meetings.

* Chris: I agree, as long as the board and board-elect are aware of the potential (fairly minor) legal implications. Board-elect aren't legally on the board, and therefore don't have quite the same expectations/requirements re: confidentiality, liability, or, accordingly, D&O coverage until they become actual board members. This doesn't mean that they have carte blanche without personal legal ramifications, either, though, so it's not a huge concern or risk to the organization. The benefits (actually making the board transition period meaningful and useful) likely outweigh any risks (especially since once they become full board members, they have access to in camera minutes anyway). | |||
