Greetings ICANN Correspondence Team. I am wondering if it might make sense, from a transparency standpoint going forward, to have a separate correspondence section on the ICANN web site which is devoted to the formal written communications between ICANN and the Empowered Community Administration, rather than interleaving these communications into the general flow of correspondence that ICANN receives. I think its important from a transparency standpoint to not just capture communications from the Empowered Community Administration to ICANN, but to also capture communications from ICANN to the Empowered Community Administration. This may not seem important now (we are up to four formal communications from the Empowered Community Administration to ICANN, and a single communication from ICANN back to the Empowered Community Administration), but it may well be important four or five years from now. I think this approach would be to the advantage of both ICANN and the Empowered Community, both now and in the future. Your thoughts?
