Hi IAB, Next week there is the MarNEW workshop, https://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/marnew/. At the IETF Prague meeting, a feedback in the saag meeting was that a transcript was not enough and it should be possible to follow the meeting live remotely. Furthermore, this should be possible not only for those invited and who submitted a paper. But apparently there will only be a transcript from the meeting afterwards, supposedly in text format and not a YouTube recording from the meeting. Personally I co-edited a paper and could have participated but don’t for personal reasons. However, the fact that only a transcript and the submitted papers is what is made public from the meeting is discomforting in my opinion. The workshop concerns user security and privacy and this IAB discussions about this subject should be as transparent as possible it would seem. Assuming there will only be a transcript, I would like to ask IAB the following questions: 1) Did IAB note and understand the feedback at the saag meeting? 2) If IAB did, why still only a transcript? 3) Is it IAB’s view that this was a special type of workshop, something only done once and therefore an exception or is this the IAB view of how workshops in general should be performed in the future? I would appreciate if IAB would be able to share their views on this, for instance at the next IETF meeting in Yokohama. Best Regards Göran Eriksson
