Hi Owen,

I believe that in general, an organization like an RIR which is
managing resources on behalf of a community and serving as that
community's representative in various external fora (ICANN, IGF,
etc.) should be as transparent in all of its processes and dealings
as possible. This means, IMHO, that unless there is a legitimate
need for confidentiality (legal strategies in active litigation,
staff salaries, personnel matters, etc.), information should
generally be made available to the community by default.
Several years ago, well before transparent was a topic of interest,
an ex-IAB Chair explained why the IAB published information. I'll
make a note of your comment about "by default" without commenting
about it. Some of the examples which you provided are already
covered by the law; it may be different in other countries.
Is there any process which is not transparent? If that is the case,
I am okay if you or anyone else wishes to raise it as an issue.
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
