<br>
To start,  I believe that facts are just things that people believe to<br>
be the case.  I try not to speak of anything stronger that a belief.<br>
Both my personal history and world history, even history of science -<br>
that bastion of fact, shows me that yesterday&#39;s Fact is often just a<br>
matter of prejudice, superstition and point of view.<br>
<br>
In terms of the accountability problem with the membership model, it has<br>
been discussed before.  Fairly extensively. Some of the gaps such as<br>
those exposed by the UA have been eliminated, but others have not.  Some<br>
involve the degree to which the various SOAC are really the solid<br>
organizations we portray.  As I wrote in an earlier message where i<br>
spoke of the SOAC themselves:<br>
&gt; Having been a member or observer of many of these entities I have fond<br>
&gt; that they are often disorganized, ruled by a few strong personalities in<br>
&gt; a sea of apathy, and given to making up rules on the fly when needed.<br>
&gt; They do not even necessarily follow the rules they have agreed to in the<br>
&gt; charters, though some do, not all of them.  And for the most part, though<br>
&gt; they are supposed to transparent, most aren&#39;t.<br>
<br>
Are these structures really fit of unchecked rule?  How can we show that?<br>
<br>
For me the primary deficit is the loss of checks and balances.<br>
<br>
The current system relies on a set of checks and balances between the<br>
Board and the rest of the community.  The current problem is that the<br>
power of the rest of the community seem too weak to many, allowing the<br>
Board to seemingly work  without any checks on its activities.<br>
<br>
By strengthening the community in the designator model, we strengthen<br>
the set of checks and balance between the Board and the rest of the<br>
community.   By doing so, we increase accountability.<br>
<br>
There is a reciprocity in this notion of accountability, one that does<br>
not require external oversight. We vote them in,  can appeal the board<br>
in a serious manner and will  even be able to  vote them out by some yet<br>
to be determined procedure.  And the Board, can review the degree to<br>
which the stakeholder groups are fulfilling their mandate to represent<br>
the larger community within the ICANN mission.  In a sense there is<br>
mutual reciprocal oversight. The Board and the rest of the community<br>
check each other and establish a functional balance.  Most of the this<br>
CCWG&#39;s activities are working on the details of these check and balances.<br>
<br>
That is other than the grand reorganization of ICANN into a membership<br>
organization.  Something that leaves the current check and balances<br>
behind and attempts to create a major new structure.<br>
<br>
In the designator model the Board can make decisions and we can appeal<br>
them. And we make recommendations and give advise the Board needs to<br>
give it serious consideration on penalty of appeal. In extreme case they<br>
can be removed from their duties and we can be subjected to  discussions<br>
of reorganization.<br>
<br>
Going to the membership model eliminates this balance by giving the<br>
putative community representatives supreme power.  How can that power be<br>
appealed?  Can membership decisions be appealed, by whom and to whom?<br>
Who determines whether the ACSO are adequately representing the global<br>
community and living up to their obligations under the bylaws?<br>
Membership turns the Board into an administrative unit without<br>
sufficient power to act as a check or balance to  the ACSOs.<br>
<br>
Eliminating any checks and balances on the ACSO from the accountability<br>
equation seems to be a critical failure to me in the creation of a new<br>
accountability regime.  Perhaps if we were going with the individual<br>
membership option a degree of accountability to global members could be<br>
argued, not sure.  But I believe  that is not what we are working on as<br>
that would involve even greater difficulty to get right. We are not even<br>
working on a model where organizations that exist on their own come<br>
together to form a group.  Our ACSO are artificial organizations created<br>
by and within ICANN.  Our multistakeholder model depends on the<br>
interaction and interplay of these organization with the Board and on<br>
the checks and balances between them.<br>
<br>
Perhaps you have &#39;fact based&#39; responses to all the possible<br>
accountability questions that NTIA might ask us about this new power<br>
structure you favor.  I do not believe that you can show how the ACSO<br>
will be responsible to the global Internet community.  I do not believe<br>
you can show how a rogue set of ACSO can be stopped from doing things<br>
that harm the organizations or the Internet without allowing the Board<br>
some degree of decision making based on the confluence of<br>
recommendations and advice received from the various ACSO and the<br>
greater community.<br>
<br>
As was stated in the call by NTIA, it was up to us to show how anything<br>
new we created could be held accountable.  As far as I can tell in<br>
membership there is no way to hold the members accountable.  In the<br>
designator model we show how we are adding accountability measures.  In<br>
the membership model we require the ACSO to verify their own<br>
representativity, but I have seen no expression of how they can do that<br>
or show that it is the case.  When I speak of having a &quot;much higher<br>
threshold&quot; in proving ACSO accountabilty to the global public interest,<br>
this is what I mean. How are you going to prove, as you say - with the<br>
facts that you believe in, that the membership model is more accountable<br>
given its unassailable postion in a membership organization.<br>
<br>
I have seen no evidence of membership creating greater accountability to<br>
the global public interest.  I cannot state that I believe it is<br>
impossible for it to do so, just that I have seen no evidence of it.<br>

&gt; Hello Avri,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     I believe membership raises the issues of accountability to the full<br>
&gt;     diversity of stakeholders to a much higher threshold, including the<br>
&gt;     issue of the degree to which ICANN is accountable to stakeholders not<br>
&gt;     included among our SG/C/RALO/ALS / as well as among parrticpating CCs<br>
&gt;     and govts.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Please, if possible, raise your concerns stating fact rather than<br>
&gt; belief. Maybe there is something I have missed. There is absolutely no<br>
&gt; difference in the openness to non ICANN stakeholders between the<br>
&gt; empowered membership and empowered designator models. At least I don&#39;t<br>
&gt; see any. Both are based upon the current SOAC&#39;s. If there is a<br>
&gt; difference in this area  I need to and want to be educated. Please<br>
&gt; respond with specific and detailed instances or examples of why what<br>
&gt; you claim is true is. Vague generalities are not particularly helpful.<br>
&gt; Again, I am open to be educated and persuaded but with substantive<br>
&gt; fact rather than vague as yet unsubstantiated beliefs.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; No model is as open to non SOAC&#39;s as is Malcolm&#39;s proposal for<br>
&gt; individual membership. That, again, is a membership model. Do you<br>
&gt; support this open membership model and if not why not? Would you<br>
&gt; prefer other models to be looked at that are not based upon the<br>
&gt; SOAC&#39;s? I think that would be a very reasonable position and one I<br>
&gt; certainly am open to supporting if a workable model would be proposed.<br>
&gt; As yet I have not seen one. Have you? Should we try to find one?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;     I think enough of the comments bring out questions of<br>
&gt;     accountability in<br>
&gt;     a mebership organization to make the membership option less than<br>
&gt;     optimal.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; What comments are you referring to? Certainly not the public comments<br>
&gt; which were basically supportive of membership. Are these comments you<br>
&gt; refer to  based upon vague generalities or specific problems? If there<br>
&gt; are specific problems what specifically are they? Should we not<br>
&gt; determine whether there are solutions to those problems rather than<br>
&gt; just dismissing the model outright? If not, what are your views as to<br>
&gt; the ultimate apparent unenforceability of the designator model in<br>
&gt; certain areas? Do you disagree with Paul Rosenzweig when he states<br>
&gt; that &quot;a direct community veto of budget and strategic plan remains<br>
&gt; essential to accountability&quot;? If not, what do you propose to do in<br>
&gt; these areas without membership. Should we simply forget them?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I do think there may be another option or two out there and hopefully<br>
&gt; working with our counsel we&#39;ll find them.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; In the interim,  I really am looking to be educated. No one has taught<br>
&gt; me more about ICANN since I became involved in it than you Avri. I&#39;m<br>
&gt; just not easily persuadable by vague opinions, I&#39;m a fact based sort<br>
&gt; of guy. As this process has moved forward I&#39;ve seen your views and<br>
&gt; positions change. To me, that is an admirable  sign of someone truly<br>
&gt; looking for an optimal answer rather than one who is clinging to a<br>
&gt; defined position. I&#39;m just having some trouble understanding,<br>
&gt; factually,  the specific objections you are now raising about<br>
&gt; membership. I hope you can help me understand so I can better test and<br>
&gt; evaluate my own views..<br>

&gt;     &gt;     Hi Becky,<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;     Thanks for asking, item 3 is actually in connection to the fact<br>
&gt;     &gt;     that such veto may not be possible without item 1(as I<br>
&gt;     understood<br>
&gt;     &gt;     it) and that is why I said an indirect veto can happen not<br>
&gt;     that I<br>
&gt;     &gt;     was entirely suggesting that those powers be off the table.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;     It seem however that folks are only looking at the powers<br>
&gt;     and not<br>
&gt;     &gt;     at what it will take to have them.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;     By the way, I also did put in a reservation that we may not<br>
&gt;     &gt;     necessarily agree with those views but my concern is mainly that<br>
&gt;     &gt;     the ccwg does not spend so much time developing proposals<br>
&gt;     that we<br>
&gt;     &gt;     know has certain implementation requirements that are not<br>
&gt;     &gt;     compatible with the ICANN community structure. I think we should<br>
&gt;     &gt;     learn from the the past (based on comments from the last PC) and<br>
&gt;     &gt;     utilize legal council and volunteer hours more effectively.<br>

&gt;     &gt;         what have they beenasked to do?<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         Hi,<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         I have no problem with having a new proposal presented.<br>
&gt;     &gt;         However it is important that there some adherence to basic<br>
&gt;     &gt;         principles on proposals that the ccwg would not want to<br>
&gt;     &gt;         explore. Three areas comes to mind:<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         - Its my understanding that anything that will turn some/all<br>
&gt;     &gt;         of the SO/AC to members and thereby exposing them to legal<br>
&gt;     &gt;         challenge is not acceptable<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         - Its my understanding that anything that allows removal of<br>
&gt;     &gt;         individual board member without the approval of the<br>
&gt;     entire(or<br>
&gt;     &gt;         larger part) of the community is not acceptable<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         - Its my understanding that a solution that allows direct<br>
&gt;     &gt;         community veto on certain elements like budget,<br>
&gt;     strategic plan<br>
&gt;     &gt;         et all is not acceptable but an indirect enforcement<br>
&gt;     could be<br>
&gt;     &gt;         considered (i.e using a power to get another power executed<br>
&gt;     &gt;         indirectly)<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         Some/none of the above may be acceptable by us, but my point<br>
&gt;     &gt;         is that there should be some focus going forward, especially<br>
&gt;     &gt;         if the target of ICANN54 is to be meet<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;         Regards<br>

&gt;     &gt;             I would also like to hear what they propose at this<br>
&gt;     &gt;             stage.  I really don&#39;t see how it could hurt to have<br>
&gt;     &gt;             another proposal to consider.  Larry Strickling did<br>
&gt;     say he<br>
&gt;     &gt;             wanted us to be sure we examined all the options<br>

&gt;     &gt;                         Hey Avri,<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         Yes the 3rd model was brought up, and the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         lawyers feel that it might be a cleaner way<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         for us to get the powers that we need.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         But without a call from the CCWG to<br>
&gt;     present it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         they feel that its not their position to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         propose a model on their own initiative.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         Personally i would like to see what they<br>
&gt;     have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         come up with but the CCWG would need to<br>
&gt;     ask as<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         an overall group for the chairs to<br>
&gt;     direct them<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         to give some more information on the<br>
&gt;     model if<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         we wanted it.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         I think if after we hear from them on<br>
&gt;     Tuesdays<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         call we still feel we might have some<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         shortcomings that it might be the time<br>
&gt;     to ask<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         them about the 3rd option.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         Also +1 I think they are really enjoying the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         work and are finding themselves getting more<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         and more involved as we go on, which is<br>
&gt;     great<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         for the CCWG as the more background and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         details they know the better that are<br>
&gt;     able to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                         give us solid well reasoned advice in my<br>

&gt;     &gt;                             i was listening then.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             In any case, the lawyers were talking<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             about a new model they had come up<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             with, but not knowing what to do<br>
&gt;     about it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             since they had not been asked<br>

&gt;     &gt;                             I was told to leave before I got to hear<br>

&gt;     &gt;                             ps. sometimes i think the lawyers are<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             getting interested in what we are<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             doing, almost like stakeholders. not<br>
&gt;     that<br>
&gt;     &gt;                             i expect them to give up their<br>

&gt;     &gt;                                 particular note that Leon and<br>

&gt;     &gt;                                 requiring a decision must be<br>

&gt;     &gt;                                 a call, it can’t be done<br>
&gt;     quickly, they<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 need about 45mins uninterrupted<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to go through the presentation and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 then would likely need Q&amp;A time<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 after they present.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 ·         Some small<br>

&gt;     back to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the CCWG<br>

&gt;     same page<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>

&gt;     will be<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 an important time for the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 models, lawyers will be ready for a<br>

&gt;     of our<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 concerns/questions<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 Note that the above is all my very<br>

&gt;     &gt;                                 conversations.<br>

&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        That was tried to some<br>
&gt;     extent,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 at least in the CWG.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        There are several substantial<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 problems with that approach.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        First, lawyers are not<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 fungible.  The particular legal<br>
&gt;     skills,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        background and experience<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 required for the issues before both<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        WGs are fairly specific,<br>
&gt;     and in<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 some cases, very specific.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        The primary core competency<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 needed here is corporate<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        governance.  While a<br>
&gt;     number of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 lawyers in the community have a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        reasonable working<br>
&gt;     knowledge of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the area, at least in their<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        home jurisdictions, I don&#39;t<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 believe there are any who would<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        say that this is their<br>
&gt;     primary<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 focus and expertise -- at least<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        none who identified<br>
&gt;     themselves<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to either WG.  The second core<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        competency required,<br>
&gt;     especially<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 in the CCWG, is non-profit<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        law. Again there are a number<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 of lawyers with a decent working<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        knowledge of this fairly<br>
&gt;     broad<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 field, but not as a primary<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        focus.  There may be a couple<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 of lawyers in the community who<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        would claim this fairly broad<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 field as a primary focus and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        expertise -- but none who<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 became involved with either WG.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        This then becomes further<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 narrowed by jurisdiction.  Since<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        ICANN is a California<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 non-profit corporation, US corporate<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        governance and non-profit<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 experience is more relevant than<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        experience from other<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 jurisdictions, and California law<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        corporate governance and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 non-profit experience is more<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        relevant than that from other<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 US jurisdictions.  In my<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        experience, the more a US<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 lawyer focuses on a particular<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        substantive area, the greater<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 their knowledge of and comfort<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        with state law issues in US<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 state jurisdictions other than<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        their own (e.g., someone who<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 spend a majority of their time<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        working in corporate<br>
&gt;     governance<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 will have a greater knowledge<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        of the law, issues,<br>
&gt;     approaches<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 and trends outside their<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        primary state of practice,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 while someone who spends a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        relatively small amount<br>
&gt;     of time<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 in the area will tend to feel<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        less comfortable outside<br>
&gt;     their<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 home jurisdiction).  (An<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        exception is that many US<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 lawyers have specific knowledge of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        certain Delaware<br>
&gt;     corporate law<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 issues, because Delaware often<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        serves as the state of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 incorporation for entities operating<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        elsewhere.)<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Second, lawyers in the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 community will seldom be seen as<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        neutral advisors, no<br>
&gt;     matter how<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 hard they try.  They will tend<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        to be seen as working from<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 their point of view or stakeholder<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        group or &quot;special<br>
&gt;     interest&quot; or<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 desired outcome, even if they<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        are trying to be even-handed.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 Over the course of time, this<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        balancing act would tend to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 become more untenable.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Third, the amount of time it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 would take to provide truly<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        definitive legal advice<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 (research, careful drafting,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        discussions with relevant<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 &quot;clients&quot;, etc.) would be<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        prohibitive, even compared to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the substantial amount of time<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        it takes to provide<br>
&gt;     reasonably<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 well-informed and competent<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        legal-based viewpoints in the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 course of either WG&#39;s work.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Fourth, in order to formally<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 counsel the community, the lawyer<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        or lawyers in question would<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 have to enter into a formal<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        attorney-client relationship.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 Under US law, an<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        attorney-client relationship<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 may inadvertently be created by<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        the attorney&#39;s actions, so<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 attorneys try to be careful about<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        not providing formal legal<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 advice without a formal engagement<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        (sometimes providing an<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 explicit &quot;caveat&quot; if they feel they<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        might be getting too close to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 providing legal advice).  If the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        attorney is employed by a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 corporation, they would likely be<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        unable to take on such a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 representation due to the terms of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        their employment, and that is<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 before getting to an exploration<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        of conflict of interest<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 issues.  If the attorney is employed<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        by a firm, the firm would<br>
&gt;     have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to sign off on the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        representation, again dealing<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 with potential conflict issues.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Fifth, even if the above<br>
&gt;     issues<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 were all somehow resolved, it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        would be highly unlikely that<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 any such attorney would provide<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        substantial amounts of<br>
&gt;     advice,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 written memos, counseling, etc.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        on a pro bono (unpaid) basis,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 especially given the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        time-consuming nature of the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 work.  Pro bono advice and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        representation is generally<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 accorded to individuals and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        entities that could not<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 otherwise be able to pay for<br>
&gt;     it.  That<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        is clearly not the case here,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 at least with ICANN taking<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        financial responsibility.  It<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 would likely be very difficult<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        to justify this to, e.g., a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 firm&#39;s pro bono committee, as a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        valid pro bono<br>
&gt;     representation.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Sixth, if ICANN were not<br>
&gt;     taking<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the role they are taking, it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        would be extremely<br>
&gt;     difficult to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 identify the &quot;client&quot; in this<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        situation.  The<br>
&gt;     &quot;community&quot;  is<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 a collection of sectors,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        mostly represented by various<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 ICANN-created structures, which<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        in turn have members of<br>
&gt;     widely<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 varying types (individuals,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        corporations, sovereigns,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 non-profits, IGOs, partnerships,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        etc.).  This would also<br>
&gt;     make it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 extremely difficult to enter<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        into a formal counseling<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 relationship with the &quot;community.&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Seventh, this is a sensitive,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 high-profile, transformative set<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        of actions we are<br>
&gt;     involved in,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 which is subject to an<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        extraordinary amount of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 scrutiny, not least that of the NTIA<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        and the US Congress.  That<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 eliminates any possibility of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        providing informal,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 off-the-cuff, reasonably<br>
&gt;     well-informed but<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        not quite expert,<br>
&gt;     &quot;non-advice&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 advice -- which might happen in<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        a more obscure exercise.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 There&#39;s simply too much at stake.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Finally, I would say that a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 number of attorneys involved in<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        one or both of the WGs are in<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 fact providing a significant<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        amount of legal knowledge and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 experience to the WGs, helping<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        to frame issues, whether in<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 terms of general leadership (e.g.,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        Thomas, Leon, Becky) or more<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 specifically in a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        &quot;lawyer-as-client&quot;<br>
&gt;     capacity --<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 working with outside counsel,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        tackling the more legalistic<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 issues, providing as much legal<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        background and knowledge as<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 possible without providing the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        type of formal legal advice<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 that would tend to create an<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        attorney-client relationship,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 etc.  So I do think that many<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        lawyers in the community are<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 giving greatly of themselves in<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        this process, even though<br>
&gt;     they<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 cannot and would not be able to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        formally be engaged by the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 community as its &quot;counsel of<br>
&gt;     record.&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        In sum, it might be a nice<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 thought in theory, but it is no way<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                        a practical possibility.<br>

&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                To your first point,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the billing rates were clearly<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                stated in the law<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 firms&#39; engagement letters.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                To your second point,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 I&#39;m sure we could all think of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                other projects and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 goals where the money could have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                been &quot;better spent.&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                  You&#39;ve stated yours.  But that<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                is not the proper<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 test.  This was and continues to be<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                money we need to<br>
&gt;     spend<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to achieve the goals we have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                set.  Under different<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 circumstances, perhaps it would<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                be a different amount<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 (or maybe none at all).  But it<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                was strongly felt at<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the outset that the group needed<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                to have independent<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 counsel.  Clearly that counsel<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                needed to have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 recognized expertise in the<br>
&gt;     appropriate<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                legal areas.  As<br>
&gt;     such,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 I believe we made excellent<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                choices and have been<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 very well represented.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                As to your &quot;better<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 spent&quot; test, I just had to have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                $4000.00 worth of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 emergency dental work done.  This<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                money definitely<br>
&gt;     could<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 have been &quot;better spent&quot; on a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                nice vacation,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 redecorating our living room or on<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                donations to my<br>
&gt;     favored<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 charitable causes.  But I had<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                no choice, other than<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to choose which dentist and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                endodontist I<br>
&gt;     went to,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 and I wasn&#39;t going to cut<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                corners -- the dental<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 work was a necessity.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                Similarly, the legal<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 work we are getting is a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                necessity and whether<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 we would have preferred to spend<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                the money<br>
&gt;     elsewhere is<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 not merely irrelevant, it is an<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                incorrect and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 inappropriate proposition.  Many<br>
&gt;     of us<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                are investing vast<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 quantities of time that could be<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                &quot;better spent&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 elsewhere as well, but we are<br>
&gt;     willing<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                (grudgingly<br>
&gt;     sometimes)<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to spend the time it takes to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                get it right, because<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 we believe it needs to be done.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                This is the<br>
&gt;     appropriate<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 measure, whether it comes to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                our time or counsels&#39;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 time.  If we believe in this<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                project, we have to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 invest in it, and do what it takes<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                to succeed.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                Of course, this<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 investment has to be managed wisely<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                and cost-effectively,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 and by and large, I believe the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                CCWG has done that<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 reasonably well -- not perfectly,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                but reasonably<br>
&gt;     well and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 with &quot;course corrections&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                along the way<br>
&gt;     intended<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 to improve that management.<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                It&#39;s certainly<br>
&gt;     fair to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 ask, as Robin has done, for a<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                better<br>
&gt;     understanding of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 that management as we go<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                along.  But asserting<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 that the money could have been<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                &quot;better spent&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 elsewhere sets up a false test<br>
&gt;     that we<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                should not use to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 evaluate this important aspect of<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                our work.<br>
&gt;     Instead, we<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 need to focus on whether the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                money was &quot;well<br>
&gt;     spent&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 on these critical legal<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                services. If you have<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 reason to believe it was not,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                that could be<br>
&gt;     useful to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 know.  That would at least be<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                the right<br>

&gt;     &gt;                                                    Betreff:<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 [CCWG-ACCT] Who is managing the<br>
&gt;     lawyers<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    and what have<br>
&gt;     they<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 beenasked to do?<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    After the legal<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 sub-team was disbanded, I haven&#39;t<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    been able to<br>
&gt;     follow<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 what communications are<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    happening<br>
&gt;     with CCWG<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 and the independent lawyers we<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    retained.<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    I understand the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 lawyers are currently &quot;working on<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    the various<br>
&gt;     models&quot;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 and will present something to<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    us regarding that<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 work soon.  However, *what<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    exactly* have the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 lawyers been asked to do and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    *who* asked them?<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                   If there are written<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    instructions, may<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the group please see them?  Who<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    is now taking on<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 the role of managing the outside<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    attorneys for<br>
&gt;     this<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 group, including providing<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    instructions and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 certifying legal work?<br>
&gt;     &gt;<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    Sorry, but I&#39;m<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 really trying to understand what is<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    happening, and<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 there doesn&#39;t seem to be much<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    information<br>
&gt;     in the<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 public on this (or if there is,<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    I can&#39;t find it).<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                 Thanks for any information<br>
&gt;     &gt;                                                    anyone can<br>
&gt;     provide.<br>
