Increase awareness and transparency of ARIN Board of Trustees
actions.<br>
<br>
1) Take detailed minutes of ARIN Board meetings along the lines of
what is done for the ARIN AC.<br>
<br>
2)Publish Board of Trustees agenda 7 days in advance of a Board
meeting.<br>
<br>
3) Send notice of Board meeting and agenda to ARIN ppml 7 days in
advance of Board meeting.<br>
<br>
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)<br>
<br>
Value to Community: These steps will increase accountability of
Board actions, as well as provide the community increased awareness
and transparency of Board actions.<span style="font-family:
