It thus seems entirely reasonable to request these details, even if the full rationale is not made public (which would also be preferable). If it remains sensitive, advise the Trustees on the mailing list created for that purpose. Continuing to withhold them will make people think there's something to hide, and I am sure that's not the case. Cheers Simon -- *Simon Phipps* *TDF Trustee*
