Hopefully you can see the issue with your “molehill into a mountain” statement. Since we (the general community) have limited insight into what is happening in the private board discussions, we can only work with what we have. When a mundane issue like this is discussed and decided privately, it shows that there is an issue with openness and transparency.
As you are a member of the board, it is concerning that you believe bringing up a transparency issue (no matter how small) will create a situation where you and others will be less open and hence continue to drive transparency and openness in the wrong direction.
