I am on our EC and I am surprised that people don't contact us. Recently the EC was “attacked” at an EGM …
Sadly, that is the pattern for us-some are more willing to communicate than others but it is always the EC's fault for 'poor communication'. We even were accused of poor communication when we recently called an information evening meeting so that we could communicate a complex issue just about as soon as possible after it happened, with an invited expert to explain and answer questions!
We have some accommodating, understanding and appreciative owners who will diligently, helpfully and reasonably get in touch about matters of interest or concern but many tend to be reluctant to bother the EC. Then we have some frequent communicators who (if not overtly complaining) always include a sarcastic sting in the tail of any superficially helpful comment to imply that the EC has in some way been negligent, fraudulent, partisan or worse.
You just have to be available for communication and keep spirits up by sharing the occasional bouquets around the committee.
