We have to accept that ITU working practices are what they are, just as 
I-star and others have working practices which aren't 100% open either. 
I'm under the impression that for example regular ICANN board meetings 
aren't something I can turn up to as an observer, nor are all the papers 
the board members are issued with available on the open web.

For the ITU IPv6 meetings I alluded to earlier (and to which the RIRs 
were invited to attend despite not, at the time, being Sector Members) 
what follows is the same reply I gave to someone off-list yesterday, to 
inform about an earlier IPv6 Governance debate, rather than demonstrate 
whether the documents were open or not, or indeed available or not 
(depending on how much effort is put into sourcing them):

"Several of the documents linked [from the url I posted] (and nearby) do 
not require a TIEs account.
