Maybe you dont understand the role of office-bearers of a 'non-profit' foundation. Sure, they are volunteers, but if they dont have the time to do the job they volunteered for properly, then it only hurts the community they claim to serve. We're not asking the volunteers to write a novel for each statement they make during a meeting, we're asking them to document clearly and concisely what they decide and what they actually do at meetings instead of documenting major decisions or action items with a 3 or 4 word summary note in the minutes. Maybe if the role of communication by volunteers is such a major burden, an individual could even take on a paid role with the foundation to be a community liason officer so that we the community know what the foundation is upto and how/why they make the decisions they do.
