ICANN Board briefing materials for the Trondheim meeting - 24/25 September 2010
Hello All, The ICANN staff have published some of the briefing materials provided to the Board for the Trondheim meeting on 24-25 September 2010. See: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes Regards, Bruce Tonkin
Thanks Bruce. What are the criteria by which portions of these materials are redacted, and who makes the decision whether to redact, and how can it be appealed? I was appalled to see the 'risk analysis' stricken from the VI discussion, since obviously that is the most important information/opinion provided to the Board on that topic (all else was provided by the VI-WG), and is most deserving of community transparency.

Hello Mike,
Thanks Bruce. What are the criteria by which portions of these materials are redacted, and who makes the decision whether to redact, and how
can
it be appealed?
It is early days in the process of publishing the materials. I and other Board members have individually been encouraging publication of the materials. As far as I know there is not a formal criteria that has been established yet. Currently the decision rests with the General Counsel from a risk perspective. The board has not been involved in selecting text to be redacted. I guess it can be appealed through the Reconsideration process in the bylaws or through the Ombudsman office. The process and degree to which materials are published is likely to be a topic at the Board retreat next week. I lean more towards the GNSO processes (audio recording and open access to materials accept as explicitly approved by Board not to do so). Regards, Bruce Tonkin
