What is bothering me is that OpenMPE, at least according to its web page, is
an non-profit open community created to provide for the care and upkeep of
MPE at the direction of its membership.

How can the membership provide direction when the board conducts all of its
business behind closed doors, signs back room agreements with the vendor to
withhold information from its members and then misleads the membership to
think a question they are asked comes from a board member when it is in fact
market research for HP?

What did I miss?
