Looks good.

This is what we are now discussing in the ALAC mtg. Please send comments asap. Thanks, Robin Begin forwarded message: From: Adam Peake <[log in to unmask]> Date: March 11, 2010 3:24:20 AM PST To: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] Subject: think the most current draft from ALAC ICANN's transparency commitment demands the adoption of a principle of default openess for all Board communications, unless specifically overidden by the principle of personal privacy or an explicit requirement for confidentiality. It is especially critical that the contributions of supporting organizations and advisory committees be presented to the Board accurately and completely. While we appreciate the need for staff to summarize matters that are often complex, we must stress the importance of ensuring that these summaries accurately report the relevant facts and positions. Openness and public review will minimize inaccuracies, facilitating the role of staff while enhancing public confidence in the Board's decision-making process. . We request that the Board change its policy so that all briefing documents are made publicly accessible in advance of presentation, except for those which for explicit legitimate reason must be confidential.
