    Dear Glenn,
    
    Thank you for the feedback.
    
    In order to avoid any confusion I would like to clarify that my 
    request was not related to the topic of having influence or decision 
    making over technical standards, or architectural issue.

Understood.  

At the heart of discussing disclosure a key question is what aspects would possibly be a conflict of interest for a Trustee that would be revealed via the disclosure.   The Trust's focus on IP asset management which means ensuring licenses are properly done, where needed defensive protective actions are taken, and that needed legal processes are properly followed and timely makes the potential conflicts very different and will require some new thinking through what would constitute a conflict.  

Clearly a Trustee that is/was a plaintiff or is/has been engaged on the side of a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the IETF LCC or IETF Trust would be a clear conflict.   Another is a situation of an anti-IP activist who is fundamentally opposed to the role of the Trust or the way that IP assets are legally managed as they may be unwilling to perform the duties of a Trustee.   What other situations there might be will need thinking through, as well as the question of what specific information disclosure would in fact be asked by Trustees to address the scenarios.   

Regards
Glenn
