I appose this proposal.
Participation in PAB requires a commitment in the form of signing the
gTLD-MoU.
The PAB exists in my view to represent the needs of these signatories
and no other person or organisation.
Access to correspondence is in my view a priviledge of those who have
committed to working with each other to support the objectives they
have agreed to.
Making it available to a wider audience would in my view provide
a resource for those who would seek to discredit the organisation.
As we also have competitor organisations, they would have an open
door into our policy making machine. This seems unwise to me.
It may also inhibit participation by discouraging PAB folk to be less
than candid about what they say, knowing it will soon be available for
the world to read.
If I could see a compelling argument for the benefits of hanging
our correspondence out for all and sundry to read, I am prepared
to review my position.
