    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>

                <div>
                  <div class="yiv5210235677ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;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></div>

                  <div class="yiv5210235677ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;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).
