I am struggling to understand *where* the suggestion to start this debate all over again even came from. We have very important issues on our agenda for WorkStream 2 that require independence of legal advice: transparency of board deliberations, reforming the DIDP, the CEP, etc., which all involve trying to reform the policies that were created by the in-house legal dept. It is silly to suggest that we must seek the legal advice from those who created the policies we are trying to reform as that would be counter-productive to our goals.<br><br>Additionally it was revealed in yesterday’s calls, that ICANN’s legal dept fees will be added to the CCWG’s independent fees, so CCWG will be billed for the in-house efforts to resist our reforms (and we won’t be given access to the legal advice that we would be paying for). I think it is extremely important the legal fees NOT be conflated together. We need to understand what the separate costs are, and we cannot be held responsible for spending on Jones Day that is outside of our control. Fees that ICANN corporate undertakes must be separated from fees that CCWG undertakes or the proposed budget process makes absolutely no sense, unless it was intended to tie CCWG’s hands and give ICANN corporate a blank check to spend resisting our reforms.<br><br>This is an important issue that we cannot roll over on, or everything else we try to do from here on out will be of questionable value. This settled debate should not be re-opened, despite the huge win for ICANN corporate if were to succeed in over-turning this group’s previous decision on this critical matter of independence of legal advice.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Robin<br><br><br><br>> On Jul 13, 2016, at 2:06 PM, Niels ten Oever <<a href="mailto:lists@nielstenoever.net" target="_blank">lists@nielstenoever.net</a>> wrote:<br>><br>> Also +1 to Greg and +1 to James<br>><br>> On 07/13/2016 10:50 PM, Dr. Tatiana Tropina wrote:<br>>> Thanks, Greg. +1.
