Could we have a list of the things that were filled in?
Maybe the community will notice that the recollection was inaccurate?
[GD] At this point the new procedures are in place and it would be an extraordinary effort to attempt
[GD] go back create such a list.

How will the tools work be supervised, and reported to the community?
[GD]
[GD] The Tools work and reporting continues as it was except there is no longer an IAOC subcommittee in
[GD] the middle. See the Tools team page: https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/tools/

Will the reviews be public? In particular, will reasons for rejecting sites
be public? I don't think the previous evaluation was public, but maybe I
just never looked in the right place.
[GD]
[GD] The new process that was just established based on MTGVENUE is documented in: https://iaoc.ietf.org/venue-selection-roles-and-processes.html .
[GD]
[GD]
[GD] From section 3. Qualification
[GD]
[GD] 8. The IAOC updates the published list of candidate meeting cities, identifying which have been selected
[GD] as qualified meeting cities and which are not. This is the list of meeting locations that the IAOC will select
[GD] to hold IETF meetings at.
[GD] Note: The public list only contains city level information and will not include information about venues.
[GD]
[GD] The list of rejected cites will be published, but it will not contain detailed information about the venue.
[GD]
[GD] However, for cities which are actually contracted to host a meeting, information will be published as per section 4 Negotiation....
[GD]
[GD] Section 4. Negotiation
[GD]
[GD] 5. The IAOC/IAD announce the chosen contracted venue. The announcement MUST include any notable
[GD] economic, health, or safety risks or references thereto, as well as the venue's compliance with the
[GD] meeting criteria.
