The banned individual has been successful in rehabilitating themselves, and the Board members have returned to non-Board life, in a way that I am certain would not have been possible if they were aware of the details of who voted for what when.
The fact that you can use it as an example now exactly supports my point. In your example, the rehabilitated member could just as easily look at who was on the board at the time and blame everyone equally - hiding the votes doesn't shield members of the board, it just creates opacity.
And I agree with Patrick & Henne here; no one is asking for every little detail - especially when it comes to respecting the rights of the Membership; I'm just asking for more clarity about decisions that are made, _why_ they are made, and what arguments were made in dissent of the decision.
While I, personally, have a level of faith in the Board to "Do The Right Thing", that does not supercede the need to witness that the Board actually _did_.
