I agree with Tim.  It is inappropriate to record a meeting without
notifying the participants in advance and receiving their consent.  It
also is illegal to do so in dozens of the U.S. states.  All cigar jokes
aside, many probably remember that Linda Tripp was convicted in Maryland
for taping her conversations with Monica Lewinsky.  Thanks.  Jon

The invitation was sent to the Registrars list as an invitation to
Registrars. This is of course a public list and some may feel that it is
then appropriate to attend these calls without announcing themselves,
and to record them without informing the participants that they are
being recorded.

 

Some of you may not have a problem with that. I do. IMHO, *ALL*
participants on these calls should be announced. And *ALL* pariticipants
should be informed whether or not such call is going to be recorded, or
otherwise become part of some public record. Brett was on both calls. I
don't know about the second call, but he neither announced himself or
informed anyone, including the ICANN staff, that the call was being
recorded.

 

To complain about ICANN conducting itself in a transparent manner on one
hand, and then support the secret recording of conversations on the
other seems a little disingenuous to me.

	I understand that Bret has pulled one of the recordings because
of legal 
	concerns raised by a person or persons on the second call.
	
	Which is unfortunate - ICANN has a mandate to conduct itself in
a 
	transparent manner, my expectation has always been that these
calls are 
	a part of the public record.
