    The critical issue is the nature of the material on a publically available website.  I recently had a motion thrown out at our AGM to have or website password protected so that only owners and, to a lesser extent residents, could access sensitive information, while the public could get general information about the building.  This was shouted down with great enthusiasm for the simple reason that the powers that be could not bring themselves to allow me to have a motion approved.  Ironically within a few weeks the EC quietly removed their email addresses from the website in case they were “googled”.  One law for them … etc etc.  It’s my fault, it was a sensible precautions and I should have got someone they’re not scared of to propose it.

    All that aside, Kangaroo is right.  Sensitive information should be protected, general information should be generally available and if the EC isn’t going to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of issues in the building, they [shouldn’t] prevent someone else from doing it … provided there are safeguards.
