Lists of volunteers aren't public. Lists of staff (unpaid, but on committees) aren't totally public, but all volunteers can see them at http://wiki.transformativeworks.org/mediawiki/Staff_Roster. None of the 6 people who were on the Board in 2015 appear there any more, in any role. So if they're still doing anything, it's with relatively minimal power and publicity.
I've looked at some of the new minutes, and it's looking promising, yeah. It's still not perfect - a lot of the work they're doing is discussing with committees via email or in those committees' rooms, which means it doesn't show in the minutes. But it's a lot better, and they're more approachable.
I think the number of guests has probably increased now that people have more hope of being listened to and having information in Open rather than Closed Session, but I suspect there were also a fair few meetings where guest names weren't recorded. The transcript of Open Session has always been visible to all volunteers.
Thanks for that link on Tumblr - I hadn't seen all the further discussion on it.
Let me know how the podcast goes - I tend to have trouble listening to them, but would be interested to see a transcript or summary write-up.
No worries on the delay - I know how things get. And it's a good reminder for me to write a fresh post.
