It’s probably best that we level with you at this point – we have reached what we must hope is the nadir of OfS board paper publication.
This most recent pair, covering meetings held on 28 September and 12 December 2023, come nearly six months after the last release – and respectively one and two quarters after the meetings they describe. The majority of items are redacted, or written in such a way as to avoid revealing anything of current interest.
It’s hard enough to think yourself into the back end of last year, and harder still when the amount of redaction is so overwhelming. There are, to be perfectly frank, very few nuggets of gold in this carefully drafted collection. But nevertheless, we persist.
Fans of this storied arm of Wonkhe coverage will note that we are focusing more on the minutes at this point – these are the areas where we feel there is most new information to share these days.
