By providing suggestions in a formal way, I mean that I have questions such as the following... 1. The website http://trustee.ietf.org/ provides no information about how to communicate with the Trustees, other than listing the email address iad@xxxxxxxxx Is that email address intended for communication with all the Trustees? 2. Are email messages sent to that address acknowledged? 3. How can one be sure that suggestions provided via that email address are in fact considered by the Trustees? 4. Are the agendas of Trust meetings posted in advance? If so, where, and how far in advance? 5. How can members of the Internet community provide input regarding agenda items, in advance of Trust meetings? Given the fact that the Trust is supposed to meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month but that as of today the most recent minutes posted at http://trustee.ietf.org/minutes.html are from 2007-06-21, I cannot say that I have much confidence regarding the Trust's commitment to open communication regarding its activities. But if answers to the foregoing questions are posted somewhere and I have missed them, please do point me in the right direction. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
