Exactly. Why would those who make decisions want to water down their ability to change fraternity policy even more than it already has been? A HQ-run message board would allow non-committee members to propose and promote their own legislation. If I were with HQ, I'd be concerned that my committees wouldn't be the only places these decisions were being made anymore.

What better way to have a transparent discussion that all members can be a part of than a private members only forum that any brother could see?

I'm not sure that's what they want. My experiences with Grand Chapters have generally been the same as yours -- things were done deals by the time they got to the floor. Why would the HQ want to give membership 2 years to debate new proposals rather than only 2 hours?
