I tend to agree with CactusPete. One of the reasons why we should and do make trials public in the U.S. and most countries is so that the general population can have some assurance that justice is being served. We'd all be horrified at the idea of secret trials.

Having said that, of course this is Randy's board and is not a democracy. And I sincerely appreciate that Randy's time is limited and he certainly would not have time to provide the equivalent of a "trial"--nor should he be obligated to do so. However, the analogy would be that making information public, even some limited information, helps provide members some confidence that the board is being run fairly.
