<div>I can confirm what Marita says about the information flow. I tried many times over my nine years on the board to get the policy changed. That is in the public minutes so I’m allowed to talk about it. If it wasn’t in the minutes I’d have to be silent. Even
though I’m no longer on the board I’m still bound by the non-disclosure agreement. This policy really stifles directors communications with members.</div>

<p><font face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">That is true Peter. Both Brian Beaton and Kerry Brown are on the community investment fund evaluation committee. I forgot to mention Kerry in my last e-mail, but yes, that's two evaluators on the team who will be
looking at applications from a community networking perspective. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">Something most people here don't know (it took me by surprise!) is that CIRA directors have to sign a non-disclosure agreement -- so no information flows out of board meetings at all. Minutes are vague. It is pretty
much of a black box. Some people have tried unsuccessfully to bring some openness. But it would take a major bottom up effort coming from members to change that. There sure was not any movement in that direction during my term.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">ICANN, on the other hand, could not be more open. Absolutely everything is on the public record and all meetings are open. So, you will be hearing from me about what is going on there. I will be attending the ICANN
AGM in Barcelona which starts on Oct. 20. Much of the discussion is quite esoteric and technical but there are some areas that are easy to relate to -- for example current rounds of discussions about geonames at the top level -- whether or not some categories
of names should be protected in the next round of new gTLDs (generic top level domains -- .com, .biz, .berlin, etc.). Mind you, everything takes a long time. The dispute about who gets to control .amazon (amazon the company or the group of 8 countries through
which this river flows) is still not settled. <br>
</font></p>
