I disagree.  The foundation is a non-profit organization and all of
it's tax filings are publicly available via guidestar.

under 'GNOME foundation'

Tim, Jonathan and I have met from time to time to discuss
improving the transparancy of the finances and made changes to the

be clearer, but I don't see a major problem.

What specific information are you looking for that is not already
publicly available ?
