@Marilyn, Just for clarification, I was NOT suggesting going
beyond the important disclosure issue at hand. The reference to a
gTLD was only in reference to me being overly cautious, and
certainly not an effort to ignite another discussion stream. I
apologize if that was not clear to all. <br>

<div dir="ltr">I'd like to stick to the topic we are discussing
which is disclosure about 'advisors', and lobbyists, and not
venture until the gTLDs contracts. I fear that would become a
bog that is too unbounded, with some questioning the marketing
plans of different gTLDs, like give aways, etc.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, I ask that as this is the CCWG-ACCT, and the topic is
about the amounts paid for consultants specifically working on
the IANA transition -- and who they are -- and that they have
only ICANN as a client, not also members of ICANN's community
on directly related subjects -- we stick to that discussion. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All law firms in the US 'clear' conflicts before accepting
a new client, and all corporations 'clear' their consultants.
While this may be confidential in both these cases, I do agree
that a public interest NGO, which is what ICANN is, can best
serve itself, and the interest of the broader ICANN community
by as much transparency as possible. BUT let's keep it high
level and civil in our request for facts and figures. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I like to say: Facts are our friends.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Of course, some issues have to be kept confidential. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Who the consultants are has been published, what they were
paid would add to the transparency. What they do, at a high
level, should be published as well. I will say again that I
think that the work is probably much needed. I spend a lot of
time -- without being paid -- explaining ICANN as I do my
other IG work and it is is a worthwhile task and an important
one if we are to demystify ICANN to RoW [Rest of World]. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am sure it is all above board, but it has now taken on a
sort of taint of 'why not tell'.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let's keep this high level and not make it a hunt for the
details, but just get the high level facts, and make that a
standard.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Will help us all. </div>

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>

agree completely with Marilyn and Phil. I have
been on 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></p>

<div>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">In
the U.S. much of what used to be done by
registered lobbyists is now performed by
“strategic advisors” who walk right up to
the line of what constitutes lobbying (and
maybe a few inches over), and nonetheless
facilitate door opening to key members of
Congress and the Executive branch, and who
“educate” rather than “lobby” members of
both branches of government. So while the
seven firms may not be engaged in what is
considered lobbying under current U.S.
law, they are still likely engaged in
helping to assure officials outcomes
desired by ICANN corporate.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">It
is for that reason – as well as for the
exercise of effective oversight over ICANN
budgeting and expenditures – that the
community should have more data on this.
If ICANN is prohibited by its contracts
with these firms from disclosing its
expenditures that is unfortunate – and in
the future I would hope that ICANN would
tell any firms being considered for such
duties that its own transparency
obligations to the community preclude it
from agreeing to such restrictions (I’d
wager that the majority of the firms would
waive confidentiality rather than lose the
contract). </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">At
a minimum, ICANN should disclose the
aggregate amounts spent with these seven
firms since they were engaged – surely
their contracts don’t bar such aggregate
reporting.</span></p>

Would this source capture lobbying

the information I provided in my latest

you had a clear visibility on this
information, which provides for (i)

for each category, and (iii) the total
value of the expenses for each category.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none;"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">With
respect to the contractual obligations of
confidentiality in commercial contracts,
ICANN is subject to them, like all
business organizations. That said, we
disclose what we can consistent with
standard business confidentiality
provisions in vendor contracts. We cannot
disclose the specific amount of spend with
each vendor but we were able to disclose
the names of the service providers
engaged.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none;"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Regarding
the lobbying expenses, as you are aware,
both organizations that hire lobbyists and
firms that lobby on behalf of
organizations are required under U.S.
federal law to file lobbying disclosure
reports. In addition to ICANN’s quarterly
lobbying disclosures posted on our
website, you can find the amounts ICANN
has paid to individual outside lobbying
firms at <a href="http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx" target="_blank">http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx</a>.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Dear
Brett,</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Thank
you for your interest
and question.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">We
currently publish the
list of all vendors
from whom ICANN obtain
services in relation
to the IANA
Stewardship
transition. The $$
value of the services
received is aggregated
by category of
expenses, which you
mention below (US
Government affairs,
Education/engagement/advice,…). This presentation is driven by 2
factors: providing
clarity as to the type
of services received,
and abiding by the
contractual obligation
of confidentiality in
force with each of the
vendors (resulting
from standard business
sensitive
information).</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">We
do publish however the
detail of the legal
advice, by firm and by
working group, on this
same page (see for
example the link to
the report of fees by
firm: </span><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0B4CB4;"><a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-expenses-legal-firm-fy16-01jun16-en.pdf%29" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-expenses-legal-firm-fy16-01jun16-en.pdf)</a></span></u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">You
will also find more
information relative
to ICANN’s lobbying in
the following blog
published a few months
ago. In this blog, you
will also find links
to the disclosure
reports that ICANN
makes on lobbying
activities.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Lastly,
further information on
lobbying appears in
ICANN’s form 990
(Schedule C, Part
II-B. On page 33/73 of
the FY15 form 990
published at the
following link):</span></p>
