IMB Broadcasts

As many of the current trustees are calling for openness and because the trustee board of the IMB reports directly to the convention at large, and also because most of SBC observers are not able to take the time and/or money to be at IMB BoT meetings I think that it is time to start providing all public meetings of the BoT online in a downloadable format. The cost to handle this would negligible and the staffing would not need to be increased as the time involved would be minimal. This would solve many problems as far as public support and trust for the IMB BoT is concerned. As these sessions are already open to the public there would be no concerns about the information getting out. This seems to be a win/win situation to me. This is already accomplished by the SBC with our annual meetings and so the technology should be readily available. I would encourage you to write the trustees and encourage them in this way. This should be a very workable solution to the issue of openness and accountability that is so needed.

I can’t take credit for the idea, either. Thanks to Ben Cole for being the brainchild behind this option.
