I agree and also think that final “word-smithing” on documents can be held on the public lists, too.

Having said that, cudos to all that worked so hard at getting the Domain Tasting document in on time and this e-mail should in no way be seen as derogatory to those people.  It’s a general statement.

I will, however, always support transparency.

Subject: [At-Large] 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
