Phil,

Having served on the ICANN Board this is not really an option given that there are some materials that cannot be discussed in public (real time). 

I believe there is a much easier and transparent solution, require the publication of all transcripts and all supporting documentation with appropriate redactions by ICANN within 72 hours of the meeting.

We should be asking ourselves the following questions.  There were four board meeting held in Costa Rica, why are the transcripts from only one of those meetings now available?

Two of the other meetings held discussed conflicts of interests and the selection of gTLD providers.  Would anyone that attended the Costa Rica would have like to sit in on those meetings as oppose to the joke of a public meeting held on Friday?

Best regards,

Michael

P.S. Here are the four Board meetings that were held in Costa Rica:

March 14th (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-2-14mar12-en.htm) and (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-14mar12-en.htm)  , one on March 15th (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-15mar12-en.htm) and the ten minute joke of a meeting on March 16th (http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-16mar12-en.htm).
