    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:
