FWIW, in any organization I have been part ofany uch reports were always only presented *at* the meeting comparative to this AGM, not any hours (s) before, and usually not in a form visible outside the meeting at all.<br>
<br>
For the contents, I agree that while the board members may think the facts are abvious, us as "normal" members are usually more disconnected from those and therefore it's always nice to have some rehash of those and I also would enjoy to see more details there in the future.<br>
<br>
I also agree though that the tone of the initial email in this thread was a bit harsh and we should phrase wishes like that in a more sensitive way in the future, if possible.<br>
<br>
