Abstract
This talk explores several issues connected with a change from a legal presumption of transparency to one of confidentiality of board deliberations and work product, a change which is proposed by the draft Principles of the Law of Nonprofit Organizations. In addition to presenting historical and cultural claims, it offers a Coasean analytic model to demonstrate that under the most reasonable assumptions a presumption of transparency would be beneficial.
