Michelle, I had used the wiki to comment in the last round, but I can summarize here. As I recall, there were some discussion and suggested edits around transparency that hadn't been fully captured in the documents (or the notes circulated). Some of these are now in the current revision, but some aren't, specifically: - In Membership... committing to transparency generally in operations; and specifically being transparent about criteria/review of membership application; and providing transparency of working group activity by putting the draft work plans, work products (etc.) on-line for the membership - In Values... committing to transparency in general and to open licenses in particular as part of "exchange" The wording could be word-smithed in a variety of ways, but having some express and specific commitment to transparency would be valuable -- both as an additional nudge to operating in a diverse, community-based way, and as a defense against possible perceptions of "clubbish"-ness. best, Micah > -----Original Message----- > From: The NDSA organization working group list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gallinger, Michelle > Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 11:41 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [NDSA-ALL] Principles of Collaboration > > Dear NDSA Members: > > Over the last 3 months, members of the NDSA have volunteered their time and insight and developed the organizing documents of the Alliance.
