[Chapter-delegates] Internet Society Foundation meeting F34

[Alfredo Calderon]

Dear Ted,

I agree with Olivier’s position. As a member of the Board of ISOC PR I have the same concerns.  How can we evaluate the changes if the mentioned exhibits are not public? Are the improvements enhancing and conducive a more efficient administrative management? In what manner?

That is why publishing the exhibits dissipate these questions.

Regards,

Alfredo Calderon
