[OpenID] Several Questions for the Current & Future Board

[Johannes Ernst]

Sadly, so far not even the board has had insight into the financials.

Every board I've ever been associated reviews the financials of the  
organization at or before each board meeting, even if it is only a  
formality.

I went on an extremely broken record for something like a year, before  
a (single, one-time, and incomplete) set of financials was provided on  
November 4th, I believe. Sometimes we did get a bank balance in board  
meetings, which is better than nothing but a bad governance tool. The  
funny thing is, we kept making spending decisions on the board without  
having anything resembling a budget that would educate us whether or  
not we actually had the money to spend.

Let's hope the act improves by a mile with board 2.0.
