But, when I said "all correspondence", I didn't mean _all_ correspondence... :-)

Okay, so this obviously needs to be cleaned up a bit.

What I'm after is that I think the IETF community should be able to see the actual contracts that we make with our service organizations and partners (maybe with some financial details omitted if necessary). I also think that we should be able to see any official addenda to the contracts. And, that we should be able to see registered correspondence that is received from anyone who expresses a grievance against us an/or threatens legal action, along with any response that the IETF sends to those things.

For instance, we were sent a budget that included a proposed RFC Editor cost of ~$800,000. This cost is based on a Statement of Work (SOW) that was negotiated between the IAB and the RFC Editor. Do we (the IETF community) have access to that SOW? (I don't actually know the answer to this question, but I couldn't find it on a quick perusal of the IAB and RFC Editor web pages). Personally, I think that we should have access to that SOW and other similar documents.

Does that make sense?

Margaret
