Thanks Grace for sharing this.<br>
<br>
I would like suggest we certify to our lawyers an advocacy request ---<br>
that is, the same thing this Jones Day memo is.<br>
<br>
Could Sidley and Adler be tasked with a similar memo directed at the<br>
Board's MEM idea?<br>
<br>
[I am concerned that we have our lawyers answering specific questions,<br>
and the Board's lawyers rolling all over the lawn. I would like an even<br>
playing field. The memo from JD is an extraordinary document for lawyers<br>
to have prepared, but if this is the sort of process we are in, it<br>
requires us all to be on a common approach.]<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
Attached please find a memo that Jones Day lawyers just sent to<br>
Sidley and Adler to respond to some of the characterizations of<br>
Jones Day's advice.<br>
<br>
<br>
This memo is being forwarded to the CCWG-Accountability for<br>
transparency.<br>
<br>
<br>
This memo was also circulated to the ICANN Board after it was sent<br>
to CCWG-Accountability's Counsel.<br>
<br>
<br>
