<p class="MsoPlainText">Gerv (and all) - Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of our Bylaws (attached) outline which communications are supposed to go on the private (management) address, and which on the public address.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Your original suggestion (pasted in below) was to delete Sec. 5.1 in its entirety. That means all communications would go on the public list? Is that really what you are proposing – or instead do you simply want to disclose how each
member voted on a ballot on the public list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I could support the latter (disclosing votes), but I’m not sure I want to eliminate the private address to members entirely. There are some matters (see Sec. 5.1) I think should not necessarily go on the public list, plus other matters
(logistics of the next meeting, which hotel, etc.) likewise don’t merit publishing on the public list.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">I do not think this is a "browser side or CA side" issue. There are people on both sides who believe the greater transparency is a good thing for governance structures in general, and for the CAB Forum in particular.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">If this motion were to pass, no-one could say one thing in public and yet vote another way in private. If your organization has no wish to do that, then you should be fine with the proposal :-)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I can't see any good reason to oppose the change, so am unable to say why other people might want to.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I am hoping that anyone who would vote against such a motion will say why. It would be a great shame if there was no discussion of the downsides they saw, but then they voted against anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>
