An excellent move from InternetNZ, something APNIC should consider as a guideline to wrap-up this never ending discussion of few more buzz words popping-up like "transparency" etc.

The last paragraph says it all:

"Our bottom line is that there has to be value from the work we're
doing. If there isn't, we don't do it. We need to communicate that
value in a way that is open and accessible. If we are unable to
communicate that value to our members, we have an obligation to tell
the story better, or stop the work."

W've been having discussions in New Zealand about the scope of Internet Governance activities as well as here in the wider APNIC region.

You can read the response of the InternetNZ CE, Jordan Carter to pretty much the same questions in this posting:

https://internetnz.net.nz/news/blog/2014/Being-clear-what-we%E2%80%99re-doing-%E2%80%93-and-why

For example:

"... we will start to produce a subject-specific report on a quarterly
basis that highlights what InternetNZ has achieved in areas such as
Internet governance engagement, what is planned for the coming
quarter, and - importantly - provide increased transparency by
including a running update on the budget involved.

By working in this way, not only on International issues but across
the work programme, members and the broader public will have simple
access to information they need to understand what we're trying to
achieve and what we are doing next.

Our bottom line is that there has to be value from the work we're
doing. If there isn't, we don't do it. We need to communicate that
value in a way that is open and accessible. If we are unable to
communicate that value to our members, we have an obligation to tell
the story better, or stop the work." - Jordan Carter, InternetNZ CE
