Harald, given the general commitment in the community and document to transparancy whenever possible, I wonder whether the IAD should be empowered to do this or should, e.g., be required to report the terms and nature of what confidentiality obligations are being assumed to the IAOC so that they can review it as appropriate. Note that I'm not proposing disclosing the confidential information to them, but it seems to me to be reasonable to tell them the nature of what is being kept secret and why. john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
