In light of that, it would seem that we do need to compel the NCC to publish the information after all. Hence, I do support 2012-05.
That said, if the NCC at a later point in the PDP starts publishing the information voluntarily, I withdraw my support of the proposal and instead object to it, on the grounds that it will be redundant and only serve to further bloat the policy text.
[Milton L Mueller] Your point is logical. I just hope the proposal passes before the NCC changes its mind again!
I got a clarification of the NCC's position off-list, which I might as summarise here: They are in willing to publish voluntarily, but since there's now a proposal being discussed, they would like to wait - if it turns out that the proposal falls through ***due to the community consensus being that the information should NOT be made public***, then they would change their position on voluntary publication, which does make sense. So when the WG chairs declares there is consensus for the proposal (or it fails for any other reason than "this info shouldn't be public") we should IMHO ask the NCC to voluntarily publish again, and skip the actual amending of the policy text.
