Hi All,

In reviewing the IASA BCP draft, I noticed that there are no specific requirements regarding the level of transparency or openness expected from the IAOC. IMO, we should be careful to start this activity with a well-established understanding regarding the level of transparency and openness that we expect.

Do we expect the IAOC to keep minutes of their meetings and post them publicly (unless there is a specific reason not to post a certain section)? Specific reasons might include: personnel issue and/or sensitive negotiation-position-related information.

yes


Do we expect the IAOC mailing list archives to be publicly available?

no, that would prevent any email on sensitive contractual or personnel
issues


Should the IAOC maintain a web site that lists its members and their e-mail addresses?

on ietf.org


Should the same web site also include a record of all written/legal correspondence received by or sent by the IAOC (with sections removed if absolutely necessary for confidentiality)?

I think that is an onerous requirement


Should all of the official IAOC decisions be announced publicly?

yes, ietf-announce

And/or do we expect a regular (monthly?) report on IAOC activities?

I'd say the mandatory frequency should be per IETF meeting


If we think that it is reasonable to require any of these things, which ones should apply to the IASA TT that we just formed?

exactly the same ones

IMHO
