trustee meetings in glass rooms

One of the things I have reflected on a lot for the past few days is the impact of the blogging world and the inner workings of the SBC. It was clear to me in our last IMB meeting that many were greatly concerned and even offended that so many people out there in cyberspace were sticking their collective noses in IMB business. "Blog" is the new four letter word on the trustee board. Several confessed they had never read, seen or heard of a blog until they were inundated with the emails from so many who had read them. The internet culture has now collided with the relative tranquility of the board room.

Is this a good thing? Or not?

Fortune (January 2005) features 10 tech trends to watch in 2005. Trend No.1: "Why you can't ignore bloggers" (irony?)

So I throw the question out to you, fellow bloggers. Should trustees blog? How are we going to handle SBC business in the future if trustees are running to their blogs after each meeting? How can we be exptected to conduct business if the whole SBC world is looking over our shoulder?

Is it a good thing? Or not?
