Hi,

Yes, i know.  But others ignore it as they reject top-down rules on
Constituency and Stakeholder group matters.

I am not seriously suggesting that we stop being transparent.  I have
been among the most strident on the issue of transparency. I think that
ICANN should be default transparent with careful application of
restrictions when absolutely necessary and documented per instance.
That is also what ATRT2 recommends.

ICANN transparency and accountability among the current most important topics, those tending to sit in judgement of ICANN the organization, staff and management, board, etc should not object to themselves being exemplary.
