Did you mean "public domain" or "public record"?  I think it depends on whether the non-profit is publicly or privately funded.  I am on the board of a local historical society, a privately funded membership organization, and I don't believe we are under any obligation to disclose our meeting minutes.  On the other hand, I used to work for a museum which operated as a department of the city; it was governed by a board of commissioners appointed by the mayor, and I presume the board's proceedings were a matter of public record.

Hello,
I would be interested to know if Board meeting minutes of a non-profit organization are public domain.  Any help would be appreciated.  Many thanks in advance.
