Might be a topic for another thread, but I think it makes sense to keep some of the instructions private. Because it gives local leaders extra latitude in making inspired decisions that may conflict with the handbook. That would be a relatively rare circumstance, but at least in that case you wouldn't have the membership crying foul based on not agreeing with the handbook.

Like most things on wikileaks or sites like it, I'm torn between enjoying the access to information while realizing that it makes certain people's jobs very difficult, jobs that are important for the benefit of us all.
