That's rubbish. Talking it through would be between a limited number of people. By responding to detailed questions, with detailed answers in a fully transparent way then the answers would be there for everybody to see.
It's quite evident that the questions didn't sit well, couldn't be palmed off with ease and therefore not openly answered. If answered in person, it will be filibuster sort of scenario where the initial point/question gets lost.
Answering 80+ "detail" questions face to face is only going to leave more questions and mean trying to smash through a load of questions in one.
It states "a Board member spending their time" rather than multiple to share the load and various areas of expertise. Surely it would make more sense multiple board members sharing the responsibility of answering questions and doing so in a full, frank manner. Quite why 1 person would have to answer all of those questions via an email/article is beyond me.
If it must be via a "talk through" in person then if Northwalian Dragon is willing to do it then what's the problem with it being recorded? It can still be minuted by an independent secretary if Andy Buckley would like it that way too. It's not going to cost the club anything.
