Not all the people in the world who think they are interested parties, ARE interested parties to all the other people of the world. You must realize that the world is divided into meddlesome busybodies, and non-meddlesome busybodies. When you start to talk about "interested parties" I can't help but think of the helpful people who would like to control their neighbors lives, or their coworkers lives, or their "friends" lives. Those people deserve nothing. IMO Any individual can explain themselves if they want to, but I see no duty to do so. I certainly impose no duty on people. If you were (for example) 1/2 hour late to a meeting, and you did not explain, I wouldn't consider you in breach of some duty. I actually have a friend who runs 15 minutes to 30 minutes late, and she doesn't seem to notice it. I like her, so I make allowances, and arrive late myself. Neither one of us explains. The matter is of no importance- imo. I'm not sure where this idea comes from that you owe people apologies and explanations. One can GIVE these things, but owing them? That seems an odd form of social accounting.
