Re: A new CRRM / 493 thread

One comment on Jason's post. He points out that the D&S, as a private company has the right to some privacy. Specifically they aren't or shouldn't be required to release information on these sorts of business decisions until the decisions have been made and they decide to release the information.

No problem there.

He also points out that the CRRM as a publicly funded enterprise has to be much more open in it's practices since it is ultimately accountable to donors and the taxpayers who fund it.

No problem there either.

But in the case of the whole 493 business you can't have it both ways. Either the negotiations are held publicly with full disclosure as would be more appropriate for the CRRM or in private as would be expected for a private business transactions.

If we want to have these sorts things happen we're just going to have to be a little patient and trusting.
