    <p>As the non-lawyer economist here I would like to observe that the
      discussion has honed in on a specific enough question, one that
      has an ICANN definitive answer, and that it should be put both to
      the Board and the new CEO for a an answer and clarification. I
      previously worried that the ICANN DNS contract with .sucks seemed
      to verge on ICANN exposing itself to the RICO act in the U.S.,
      given the .sucks marketing plan. Maybe I am overly cautious but as
      a not-for-profit corporation operating in the public interest
      ICANN is more than obliged to provide clarity here. Silence won't
      do. <br>

              both sides of non-disclosure agreements – both ones
              requested by me and ones requested by my clients. 
              Typically, a client (in the position of ICANN) may request
              that a consultant sign an NDA so as to protect the
              confidentiality of its efforts or its intellectual
              property.  Sometimes a consultant might have a proprietary
              methodology or process that they are using on behalf of
              the client that they wish to protect.  </span><o:p></o:p></p>

              confidential my fee …  I don’t broadcast them, but I’m in
              the private sector.  For ICANN, which is an NGO acting in
              the global public interest, I cannot see any reason at all
