The Board meetings are held in January and July of each year in
an office in the main headquarters building.  A summarized (i.e.
edited) form of the minutes are usually published in THE AMERICAN
THEOSOPHIST.  The summary contains that information which
Headquarters wants you to know and what they don't care that you
know.  Wheaton considers how a Board member voted on an issue to
be a major secret.  Therefore it is unlikely that they will allow
any non Board member to see the actual minutes, which might
reveal this kind of information.  If you succeed in getting
copies of the minutes without using or threatening legal action,
then my hat is off to you.  If Bart has a copy of the minutes, I
will appreciate it if he forwards me a copy too.  I will happily
pay his copying and postage expenses.
