<div class="">This approach may look sound on the inside but there are two clearly very unusual aspects to it:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. A small group of people have decided that they should step outside accepted norms in the IANA transition process and been given control of a critical process. They have implemented it immediately, and are judging the validity of their decision
by how much they themselves agree with it</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. One of that small group appears to be ICANN's senior counsel. Something that is transparently a conflict of interest given that the entire process is supposed to be about gaining legal advice independent of ICANN</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Not only were these decisions made within the group and in a very short period of time with no effort to seek outside approval or input but the group hasn't even put together a reasoned explanation for why it has taken this approach.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Even if you are one of the people that have allowed themselves inside this process, surely you can see that this is a terrible precedent for no good reason.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So I would ask:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">* Why? Was there any evidence that this approach was actually needed? Or was it an assumed pre-emptive reduction in transparency and accountability? How long was the actual discussion? </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">* What is the explanation/justification for having a member of ICANN's legal team on a committee that is specifically set up to gather legal advice independent from ICANN? How is this conflict of interest explained away?</div>
