Thank you Izumi for your balanced and considered response. 
I support this completely.

I understand that this is a sensitive topic, and that we need to manage community expectations and meet the important need for transparency. 

We are all from RIR communities who pride themselves in working in a transparent, inclusive, bottom-up, consensus-based manner. So I think that we all understand that those principles should not be compromised. They are there for a reason.

I fully agree in that we need to engage with the community through the public list(s) and we certainly need to keep them informed and seek their feedback every step of the way. 

I think it's important that minutes, agendas, notices of meetings, draft documents and any major decisions need to be made publicly available. On the iaxfer-list, on our respective regional lists, but also on the NRO website. 

But we have an incredibly short timeline to do this important work. And I don't think it is practically possible to get that work done, in that short time, solely on a public list. I think we can all agree that the absolute worst outcome would be that we fail to deliver a sound proposal. So we need to look at how we can achieve that in the most efficient way, but without compromising on transparency.  

I don't think we compromise on any of these principles, by making progress and getting work done in this small group, as long as we make sure to communicate with the community, and seek input on the work we've produced, each step of the way. 

Within our own RIR policy making process, it is quite normal and common, that a small group of people draft text that is then presented to the whole community for feedback. So in my view, that way of working is quite in line with our basic principles of decision making.

I hope this clarifies my thinking on this.

Kind regards,
Nurani
