Oh, please. This is the internet age where anyone with knowledge can blab that knowledge (from attending an open HOA meeting as just one example), and as much misinformation as they want to invent (or "interpret" for this KBV forum), on any open forum. It has been happening for years, not just in Hawaii.
Sorry, not at all the same as private owners' lists or personal ledger information, which are not part of an open HOA meeting.
Were any owners at the KBV annual meeting sworn to secrecy? Therein is your answer.
Should not any HOA annual meeting be an opportunity to disseminate true information to all owners rather than suppress information?
It absolutely should - for owners. This forum is not restricted to owners. Somehow I think the reaction would be different if individual owners votes were doxxed instead of the Wyndham block.
Why can’t GPR set up a password protected forum for this purpose? Several associations I belong to have them. Are they just not as capable as other management companies, or was this a board decision?
By the way, the association can take legal action against owners that disclose private information meant for owners only. Many years ago I disclosed information from a records request in a different association showing several board members funneling business to companies they were affiliated with at inflated prices with no bids. They took action against me and made me remove it. Later that year I was elected to the board as President. Association counsel explained to me that individuals expose themselves to legal action for disclosing information from member meetings or records. The solution was to be completely transparent to owners behind an owners portal to protect the information.
