Re: [gnso-review-dt] GNSO Review 360 Assessment - Revised

[Mike Rodenbaugh <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Chuck.  In a nutshell, we think the survey responses will be very
important, and should not generally be kept secret.  In order for the
Working Party to do its job, and for the public to properly weigh in on the
recommendations of Westlake and/or the Working Party, the underlying data
generally needs to be made available.  ICANN is an open and transparent
organization, data and opinions are typically shared publicly for the
benefit, input and buy-in of the entire community.  Those respondents who
wish to maintain confidentiality of their response can elect to do so, and
so that should address any confidentiality concern.
