[Magdalen] Private-ish repository for vestry documents?

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I think it was not a huge issue and people were also welcome to attend 
vestry meetings (with no voice) - only rarely was an executive session 
called when 'visitors' were excused.  That changed with the new Rector 10 
years ago now.

I thought the point of Scott's inquiry was for private access. My thought is 
how private or necessary is private access when  it is accessible on the 
internet and can be 'photographed',  snipped or even possibly 'saved'.  If 
private access is considered necessary, I personally don't think that the 
internet is the way to go, in any manifestation. Sincerely only my humble 
opinion.
