As someone who has sat on the board of a large community organisation (>1,000 members) I accept that some concerns are not suitable for wide distribution. For example, if the board is asked to deal with a dispute among community members, then the matter should be discussed in confidence unless explicitly requested by all parties. (I have no idea what this section in the minutes was actually referring to.)
