Suggestion: *

Increase awareness and transparency of ARIN Board of Trustees actions.

1) Take detailed minutes of ARIN Board meetings along the lines of what 
is done for the ARIN AC.

2)Publish Board of Trustees agenda 7 days in advance of a Board meeting.

3) Send notice of Board meeting and agenda to ARIN ppml 7 days in 
advance of Board meeting.

4) Send Board meeting minutes to ppml after existing review period, as 
is does for AC minutes. (Documenting the minute review periods on the 
ARIN website would also be nice)

Value to Community: These steps will increase accountability of Board 
actions, as well as provide the community increased awareness and 
transparency of Board actions.

Thank you for your suggestion numbered 2014.20, regarding increased 
awareness and transparency of ARIN Board of Trustees actions.

The ARIN Board of Trustees has considered this suggestion and taken 
specific steps to increase transparency, including formalizing the 
publication of Board agendas in advance of meetings and publication of 
supporting materials in the Board meeting minutes. Note that ARIN AC 
minutes are not published to the Public Policy Mailing List (PPML), but 
a summary of any policy actions, whether they originate from the ARIN AC 
or the ARIN Board of Trustees.

We believe that this addresses your suggestion and it is now closed. 
Thank you for participating in the ARIN Suggestion and Consultation Process.
