"Often" here means "sometimes". (1) /Why/ are "private
details" being
exchanged *sometimes*, but other times not?
(ie. there appears to be variability in the process, but that
variability is not documented...; otherwise the requestee would
likely already have pre-submitted the information, because of
knowing clearly what was going to be requested.
The Portal is being redeveloped and one of the new
facilities will
be full traceability and transparency for all allocation
workflows, including the BGP process.
Teaching a computer, first requires knowing/recording the steps.
(Yourself/Brian know/knew how the workflow was done, but at the moment
that information is still locked away, and not openly shared).
If you, or anyone on this list, would like to have
input to the
development process please contact me and/or Rosy off list.
...We have it again: "please contact me off list". (->memory hole.)
(2) What can I/we do to help, to keep discussion like this *on list*?
Here's the same standard offer to the trustees/employees;
(*it requires a conscious decision+commitment to *want* be open...)
I (Paul Sladen) am willing to help Ampr/ARDC organise documentation-
stuff. It is only possible to organise what is already written down
and shared.
(3) Do yourself/the trustees want to do this?
