Or alternatively maybe I'm the participant in this discussion that's actually raised significant government funding based on sharing sensitive projections and technical detail, met elected officials doing their "we support business and dual use technology for national security" visits and had to reassure VCs that space agency disclosure requirements don't actually jeopardise IP.

Reason I'm able to that is precisely because I know full well that transparency legislation acknowledges that commercial sensitivity is a thing, and that parts of some emails made to evaluate us aren't going to be shared under FOIA legislation. And frankly if it wasn't, it would stop the appropriate email exchanges about business impact of policy changes, not inappropriate conversations people might want to have about campaign contributions. If you want FOIA tweaked to work on the sovcit principle that since the public is paying their bills everything shared with public officials is also public, you're the one that needs to do the convincing.

Let me know how you get on with those emails "most" businesses are happy to share the unredacted contents of.
