Is IAB MarNEW workshop transparent enough?

2015-09-21 10:15:05
Hi IAB,

 
Next week there is the MarNEW workshop,
https://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/marnew/.

 
At the IETF Prague meeting, a feedback in the saag meeting was that a
transcript was not enough and it should be possible to follow the meeting
live remotely. Furthermore, this should be possible not only for those
invited and who submitted a paper.
 

But apparently there will only be a transcript from the meeting
afterwards, supposedly in text format and not a YouTube recording from the
meeting.

Personally I co-edited a paper and could have participated but don’t for
personal reasons. However, the fact that only a transcript and the
submitted papers is what is made public from the meeting is discomforting
in my opinion. The workshop concerns user security and privacy and this
IAB discussions about this subject should be as transparent as possible it
would
seem. 

Assuming there will only be a transcript, I would like to ask IAB the
following questions:

 
1) Did IAB note and understand the feedback at the saag meeting?
2) If IAB did, why still only a transcript?
3) Is it IAB’s view that this was a special type of workshop, something
only done once and therefore an exception or is this the IAB view of how
workshops in general should be performed in the future?
 

I would appreciate if IAB would be able to share their views on this, for
instance at the next IETF meeting in Yokohama.

 
Best Regards
Göran Eriksson
