To respond to my own questions (not al lo fmy answers are 'yes'):
Do we expect the IAOC to keep minutes of their meetings and post them publicly (unless there is a specific reason not to post a certain section)? Specific reasons might include: personnel issue and/or sensitive negotiation-position-related information.
Yes.
Do we expect the IAOC mailing list archives to be publicly available?
No, I don't think that this is necessary, as the IAOC may discuss personnel issues and/or sensitive negotiations rather frequently and forcing the archive to be open would just force the creation of another list with a closed archive.
Should the IAOC maintain a web site that lists its members and their e-mail addresses?
Yes. And, I agree with Brian that it should be within the www.ietf.org tree.
Should the same web site also include a record of all written/legal correspondence received by or sent by the IAOC (with sections removed if absolutely necessary for confidentiality)?
Actually, I think that the IAOC should post all correspondence, and I don't think that this is an onerous requirement. It is not likely that there will be all that much non-electronic communication, such communication is typically important (sent to meet legal requirements for registered mail, etc.), and I think that the IETF should be able to see it. This group will have a full-time employee and access to the IETF's secretariat services, so I think that this would be less onerous than our current IPR policies and/or our plans for liaison statements.
Should all of the official IAOC decisions be announced publicly? And/or do we expect a regular (monthly?) report on IAOC activities?
I think that a regular update would be fine although I'd prefer it to be more frequent than three times a year.
If we think that it is reasonable to require any of these things, which ones should apply to the IASA TT that we just formed?
I think that the IASA TT should have the same level of openness and transparency as the eventual IAOC.
