Hi Glenn, Thanks to you and the LLC board for re-considering and for publishing your analysis of why specific sessions are not open. I think that that approach is exactly in line with the "open by default" approach that's been discussed at all stages of the iasa2 process. Two notes and a request: - I'm not clear why "client-attorney privilege" applies in all the cases you've listed, e.g. I'm surprised that the "Trust IP license" section is considered so sensitive as to not be open. I'm also unsure whether "client-attorney privilege" is meant to imply that that requires, or just enables, the client to keep secrets. - If I'm adding it up right, it seems that about 40% of the formal meeting time is open. That's somewhat less than I'd have naively hoped for. The request: I'm not asking that you again re-jig the agenda for this week, nor answer the above now, but rather that you document, in the meeting minutes, whether or not each of those closed sessions really turned out to need to be closed (or not), and if so, say why, to the extent possible. Lastly, I'd hope that increasing that 40% is seen as a goal for the LLC board, and my hope is that meeting minutes (if they include the above) and the LLC board's experience will help enable that. Cheers, S. PS: Clicking on the google link for remote attendance seems to imply a google a/c is not needed, but it's hard to be sure when the meeting's not actually running. I'm glad that that appears to be the case, and would definitely whine if a google a/c were needed for remote attendance. So that's an additional, but contingent, thanks:-) On 10/12/2018 04:36, IETF Administration LLC Board of Directors Chair wrote: > In response to the interest expressed by IETF community members for observing the IETF LLC Board retreat on December 12-13, the LLC Board has reviewed the agenda topics and identified those topics which can be open to observers.
