The OC can direct the committee within the bounds of the law and unnecessary identification and embarrassment of residents is best avoided, though harder to do in NSW where minutes are publicly displayed. And then there is the matter of proper and accurate recording of committee decisions, preferably with reasons for the decision also recorded. What if the minutes are so vague you can’t tell what they mean yet you need to rely on them for some legal matter? So, if the committee has reason to discuss and record a decision relating to a particular resident, how to avoid causing gratuitous embarrassment or offence?
A starting point would be for the OC to direct the committee to refer to ‘the owner of lot no. XX’ rather than naming the person in any minutes. A casual reader of the minutes might not know who that person is so some anonymity would result.
