Master Recordings. Boards should tape their publicly broadcast meetings and keep the tapes on file. Doing so makes it much harder for rogue directors and unethical dissidents to misrepresent what was said at meetings. Without a master recording on file, those who make private recordings can alter them or take portions out of context and put them on the internet. With a master recording on file, the association can expose the tampering.

Moderating Influence. Another benefit to broadcasting meetings is that belligerent participants may moderate their behavior, since their actions would be on display for all to see.
