Hi everyone,

We've continued to iterate on the Transparency Policy, so I wanted to circulate it again to the Foundation mailing list for final comment.  One update to note is section 2.1f, which now has more emphasis on transparency at the Committee/Working Group level. Also, if anyone is interested in helping develop a plain-language version, that would be great.

My goal is to get a final draft in front of the Board on Monday, October 28, so we can discuss and approve it at the November 4 board meeting.

Again, please feel free to comment in the google doc or via this list.

Thanks,
Lauren
