Perhaps we all (and particularly our Vice Chair) note the
following from next Tuesdays ALAC meeting Agenda https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?11_december_2007
Other Matters From
Previous Meetings
AND PLEASE NOTE: this item was listed for discussion as point
#1 at our FIRST meeting of the ALAC since LA and our restructure /
membership... But that this item along with many others were not covered off
once we lost the quorum due to the unusable phone bridge issues...

Subject: Re: [At-Large] Discussions should be transparent / Open ...
A private discussion to wordsmith a public policy, isn't really a
transparent process.
The larger At-Large community should be able to both see the
discussions taking place and also contribute in all steps of the
process. I stand by my statement that only - confidential - matters should
be discussed on the internal ALAC list. All other discussions, especially items
related to policy should be public.
Might I suggest second the process called for by Jean, that being
that a document be drafted (and agreed by both ALAC and the larger
at-large community) to define what specific items are for the internal list.
Having a well defined policy will make it clear what indeed to be privately
discussed, and what by default should be open and public.
regards
Robert

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!

Discussions should be transparent / Open ...
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
