[Eg-oversight-board] Proposed amendment to EOB meeting minutes

[Ruth Frasur]

I should also clarify that the reason there has been a request for amended
language is based on how the minutes were transcribed.  During regular EOB
meetings, we rely on IRC logs to collect the minutes and so what's "said"
is what's recorded.  During the face to face meeting, there is a person
recording the minutes and so sometimes what is gathered doesn't accurately
reflect the conversation.

I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion one way or another, but rather,
just clarifying
