Minutes If the PRB had honored the Coalitions obligation to spend Iraqi oil revenue in an open and transparent manner they would have made available thorough, complete documents, for all their meetings, including attachments and appendices.
None of the minutes are complete, although some are worse than others. Many minutes are just absent -- missing in action.
In some cases the minutes do not include an attendance list. When an attendance list is present, the roles and titles of the attendees was not always provided.
Only rarely did the minutes record whether the attendees had reviewed and approved the minutes of the previous meeting, or the date of the next meeting. By not recording this information the PRB ensured that it would be impossible to determine how many meetings were held for which the minutes were absent.
The minutes almost never record the actual wording of motions, who seconded them, who voted for them, or against them, or even the vote tally.
In some cases where an attendance list was part of the minutes decisions were made when the Board did not have quorum.
