Right, I followed up and mentioned this possibility.  I do skim over
those, but at the end of the year, I sure don't have any recollection
of who did a lot and who did a little.  And re-reading all of them
just to try to find that information (or remembering to keep a running
tally) sounds like a lot more work than most foundation members are
going to do...

But yes, I think that these minutes are important because at least
they do provide a way that someone could figure out this information,
given the time and energy.
