<p>While I wish Bruce wisdom in answering your question. I don't understand how you conclude that it's erroneous. From my "very" little understanding of law, there are more than one way to achieve a goal and none of them lacks consequences (disadvantage).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We have requested CCWG legal to provide their view about board proposal, I don't know what is more useful than that document produced(unless we don't trust CCWG legal as well). I mean, how differently would we have responded by seeing the notes other than
the way we have to board's proposal<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>That said, this does not mean I am discouraging transparency but just to indicate that our answer/solution to settle the current disagreement is most likely not in those notes.<o:p></o:p></p>

>> I understand that the Board has made the Jones Day impact assessment available. But in a note it states that it has had discussions with advisors and staff. I would also like to request for any document that the Board has received in its discussion with
the advisors and staff and notes of the deliberation of their meetings.<br>
<br>
Yes our intent is to make all documents available. So far the only one that I am aware of is the Jones Day analysis that was published.<br>
<br>
We received verbal briefings form the Advisors to the CCWG (<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Advisors" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Advisors</a>) , and I understand these advisors also gave verbal
briefings to the CCWG, as well as any written comments they have posted to the public comments forum.<br>
