That's not the plan, and never has been. You are barking up the wrong
tree here; the OSMF board expects corporations to be open about their
edits just as you do and will communicate that accordingly.

I think you need to cut this board some slack; if you remember, until
not so long ago, board meetings were completely closed to visitors and
the default was that everything was secret that wasn't explicitly made
public. Have you considered that discussing our response to this
particular incident behind closed doors might also be because we don't
want the company to listen in?

As a board member, I am happy if the community is interested in what
we're doing and I want the board to be in a close dialogue with the
community and serve in its interest. I think that "us vs. them" postings
like yours are inappropriate, and harm this relationship. It would
behoove you to tone down your language a notch or two.

Bye
Frederik
