Re: [ga] [Fwd: [address-policy-wg] ICANN Ratifies Global Policy for Allocation of IPv6 Address Space]

Hi Thomas,

We have no interest in learning about the private and confidential life of
Board members. However, we are concerned about the shaping of ICANN policies
that may have significant repercussions for the public. Why shouldn't the
public be allowed to listen in, view or read Board discussions which concern
them, unless there is something that Board members want to hide? The wider
dissemination of important information to the GNSO would only certainly be
in line with ICANN's Core Value #7 which says:

Employing open and transparent policy development mechanisms that (i)
promote well-informed decisions based on expert advice, and (ii) ensure that
those entities most affected can assist in the policy development process.

Sincerely,
Ted
