<body class='hmmessage'><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.

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><div><br></div><div>M</div><div><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] [community-finance] IANA Stewardship Transition - Project Expenses - FY16 Q3 update<br>To: psc@vlaw-dc.com; kstubbs@afilias.info; paul.rosenzweig@redbranchconsulting.com; marilynscade@hotmail.com; brett.schaefer@heritage.org; xavier.calvez@icann.org<br>CC: cwg-stewardship@icann.org; accountability-cross-community@icann.org; icann-board@icann.org; executive-team@icann.org; commsteam@icann.org; community-finance@icann.org; finance-staff@icann.org<br>From: sam@lanfranco.net<br>Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 12:23:12 -0400<br><br>
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>

circumstance applies here that I can see. And in no case
that I am aware of has a client ever asked me to keep
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
why ICANN would want or agree to a confidentiality
arrangement as to the size of the fee paid.</span></p>

<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>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none;"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";">Yes, the
information I provided in my latest email had been
included in some previous communication. I just
wanted to make sure you had a clear visibility on
this information, which provides for (i)
categories of expenses, (ii) the individual names
of the vendors grouped 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

I did not see similar information
for lobbying or education/
engagement/advice in the links
provided. In fact, the only
specific information that I saw
listed is for Jamie Hedlund at
$200,000. No information on other
individual firms or vendors is
listed at all – only the top line
budget expenditure in the summary
document link originally sent
around.
