Didn’t the ALAC agree to this ages ago? And haven’t all the policy issues been discussed on the public list? If you’re talking about final wordsmithing on a document for 24-48 hours after a month in discussion on the public list, I don’t see that as being a violation of transparency and openness. More a practical way to finally get a document finished and approved by ALAC to send out in time!

I've repeatedly been raising the issue - that in fact the ALAC internal list should be for confidential matters, while all discussions (especially policy) should take place on the more open and transparent public at-large list. Any support on this matter would be most welcome. regards, Robert --- Robert Guerra <HYPERLINK "mailto:rguerra@privaterra.ca"rguerra@privaterra.ca> Managing Director, Privaterra Tel +1 416 893 0377 No virus found in this incoming message.
