Vint,

IMHO, vendor submitted proprietary information deserves protection
against disclosure to the public, but not to directors of the organi-
zation, whereas personnel information, except in very narrow, limited
cases deserves protection against disclosure even to a director.

As I see it, they ain't the same thing, ergo, different rules apply.

ICANN may receive information from vendors, for example, that is considered
proprietary - that deserves protection as much as personnel information.

An enormous amount of ICANN material is published on the web - more, I
imagine,
than a great many other non-profit organizations.
