Several years ago, well before transparent was a topic of interest, 
an ex-IAB Chair explained why the IAB published information.  I'll 
make a note of your comment about "by default" without commenting 
about it.  Some of the examples which you provided are already 
covered by the law; it may be different in other countries.

Is there any process which is not transparent?  If that is the case, 
I am okay if you or anyone else wishes to raise it as an issue.
