<p>Thanks, Greg. +1. Fully agree.</p>
<p>CCWG shall retain the ability to ask for independent advice. Also
agree that continuing with Sidley Austin and Adler & Colvin is
the best option. </p>

<div>The reasons are all in the record. Please go back and read
all of the materials and discussions relating to our desire and
choice to hire independent counsel. If you have any specific
questions after that, please ask them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will briefly say the following: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. This has nothing to do with competence, although being
generally competent and competent in a specific area are two
different things.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Where we needed first-hand knowledge or history, we've
turned to ICANN legal as one source for such things. That won't
change. Advice is another thing entirely.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Ask yourself "Who is ICANN legal's client?" and you will
have answered your own question.</div>

competent, have first hand knowledge and a complete
understanding of the legal nuances on matters concerning
ICANN, may I ask? Saves money on most matters requiring
legal advice, and should there be areas that require
specialized advice, we could seek external advice.<br>

<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We
need the continued ability and discretion to go
directly to CCWG's counsel. Requesting inhouse
to solicit an opinion from an external counsel
is not only "cumbersome," it's absolutely
antithetical to the relationship between CCWG
and its independent counsel.</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I
strongly believe that the "default" must be the
status quo, i.e., that the CCWG (through
reasonable processes) has the ability and
discretion to turn to its own counsel. Further,
I strongly believe that CCWG's independent
counsel must remain Sidley Austin and Adler
& Colvin. They have been up a tremendous
learning curve and worked with us every step of
the way. It would be folly to cast that aside.
It's worth noting that Sidley is a full-service
law firm with offices outside the US in Beijing,
Brussels, Geneva, Hong Kong, London, Munich,
Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo. I'm
confident that Sidley (and Adler) will (a) tell
us when they don't have the expertise to help
us, and (b) work with us on working methods to
make our use of the firms more cost-effective. </div>

on the call today, IMO; A good body of
knowledge was accquired on the subject
of legal requests in wg1. WG2 legal
resources would be both inhouse and
external, from start, We should be
much more efficient this time around.
Each sub however will have their needs
and there may be requests applicable
across the subgroups and/or
specific to a subgroup.</div>
<div style="font-family:"comic sans
ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">So, that suggests
close relationship between budget
control and the former legal request
team [reconfigured and/or augmented]
who would have to coordinate requests
across ws2 sub </div>
<div style="font-family:"comic sans

it.</div>
<div style="font-family:"comic sans
ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">What determines
the initial choice inhouse/external
resources may be a matter of
consensus, but it may be prudent to
consider the process as [default]
inhouse with the flexible and
necessary option of external sources
by consensus [as the fog clears so to
speak]. I think it may be cumbersome
to request inhouse to solicit an
opinion from an external, because
there may arise an instance where; on
the strength of an opinion,
[inhouse or external] ; a wg2 may wish
to reframe and seek
alternative advise elswhere.</div>

<div>I was unfortunately
unable to join the call as I
was on a flight at the time,
my apologies. I've just had
a chance to catch up on the
Adobe Connect recording, and
I'm happy to reconfirm my
willingness and availability
to serve as a rapporteur.
Also, I agree with the
thrust of Kavouss' comment
at 0:24:30, and affirm my
commitment to serve
impartially. I look forward
to working with Greg on the
jurisdiction subgroup.</div>

<div>Separately, on the issue
of allocation of legal

need further discussion, and
endorse creating an Option 3

the specific requirements of
the different WS2 subgroups.</div>
