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:

ARIN Comment<br>
24 February 2015<br>
<br>
Thank you for your suggestion numbered 2014.20, regarding increased
awareness and transparency of ARIN Board of Trustees actions.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
We believe that this addresses your suggestion and it is now closed.
Thank you for participating in the ARIN Suggestion and Consultation
Process.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
