This from Portland Afoot: TriMet president: Board members shape policy by email. While
one can argue that there are circumstances that may be served well
enough by the convenience of email - it ought to be obvious that nothing
substitutes for face-to-face discussions among board members. This use
of emails seems to be nothing more than a way to avoid ordinary results
that come from a truly independent board. Transparency and
accountability suffers.
Public policy shaping ought to be accomplished only within an open
meeting forum where attendees can experience the entire context
