To me these are exactly the cases that should be disclosed publicly. Especially the case: "I am a contractor who does some work for a company which is also doing some kind of business with the LLC, but my contract with that company requires me to keep it confidential” This is exactly that case that if later disclosed would erode people faith that the LLC Board is acting in the IETF communities best interest. IMHO someone with these kinds of COI, shouldn’t be on the LLC board in the first place. Bob
