Possibly not, but it would NORMALLY be because the board has decided something should be private (like names of people being voted on or something) in which case it should likely not have been in our public version as well. Doesn’t happen too often. Also, they would remove any “wiki formatting” type things that wouldn’t look right in the text form they use. > And even if they are identical, do we still need to have the redundancy > for trace-ability?

I don’t really think the board would care if one was produced or not. It’s the chair’s job to make sure the board gets the report. If they don’t get it, they ask the chair to report again next month. If the chair consistently has issues, they’d likely replace the chair. Another thing to keep in mind: it’s the Chairs job to create the report that reflects the state of the community. The chair MAY include the wider community in creating that report, but that’s not a requirement. Thus, saying “the community produced one, the chair didn’t submit it” really wouldn’t matter at all.
