<p><font face="Verdana">I have not followed the process closely, and
will like a clarification about the role of the CCWG elist -
this one, the plenary list - vis a vis various sub group
discussions. I understand that the final decision making
capacity lies with the full group (if only the designated full
members), and sub groups only help to focus discussions and
produce drafts. If so, sub groups and their coordinators should
be happy to receive as much input/ direction from plenary list
discussions as possible. This is how I see it work for most
groups with similar tasks. But then those who have shaped and
engaged closely with this particular process will know better...
A clarification will be useful... <br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">As a reminder,
this extensive email conversation was initiated by my email
announcing the publication of our quarterly update on the
IANA Stewardship transition expenses (Mid June). We have all
used one of the item included in this information (Other
professional services, and specifically the
Engagement/education section) as an opportunity to exchange
views on furthering ICANN’s transparency.</span><span

many issues raised on this topic through this exchange, and
well beyond the initial call of the email. This should move
into a more structured conversation, such as WS2
Transparency subgroup, where issues of transparency and
document disclosure are scheduled for conversation. I look
forward to supporting the deliberations there and
participating in the conversations.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Regarding your
specific question at the end of your email below, I have
already noted below that “ICANN does not have other lobbying
activities, corresponding to the established definition of
such activities.” ICANN does not have additional lobbying
activities in the United States or outside of the U.S.</span><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">All,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I have
taken several days to review the various inputs and
questions you have provided in this email chain, and
have involved several ICANN staff members on this topic.
Here is [finally!] a response.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">While ICANN
is required under law to report in its form 990 on the
identity and amounts paid to its five highest paid
independent contractors, we exceed this requirement by
reporting on amounts paid to all contractors to which
ICANN pays over US$1,000,000 within a fiscal year. See,
for example, ICANN’s Form 990 for FY15, at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/fy-2015-form-990-10may16-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/fy-2015-form-990-10may16-en.pdf</a>,
pages 67-73. None of the vendors in the
“Education/engagement” category reach the US$1,000,000
limit, therefore the issue of disclosure of the specific
amounts of their work has not been triggered under
ICANN’s expansive reporting practices. The reporting on
lobbying expenditures, as has been previously discussed,
is completed through ICANN’s Form 990 filing, as well as
through the forms available at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx">http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx</a>,
which each identify both the specific issues covered in
the lobbying activity as well as the House of the U.S.
Congress or Federal Agency to which the activity was
directed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">ICANN’s
general vendor contracts (which are separate from the
publicly available registry and registrar contracts) are
commercial contracts containing commitments between two
contracting entities. Many of these contracts contain
confidentiality clauses, including those requested by
vendors. This is normal throughout commercial
contracting practice. For example, some vendors have
propriety forms for their contracts that they do not
want to release; some are subject to “MFN” clauses,
which could require them to offer terms or services to
other customers that are equal to more favorable clauses
offered to other customers; some have confidential
pricing schedules; some have propriety information
included within the description of how they will deliver
services; etc. ICANN’s ability to enter into these
normal commercial contracts allows ICANN to obtain the
best services needed at the best prices it can
negotiate.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I hope this
helps clarify the context under which confidentiality
clauses may exist in ICANN’s contract, and that ICANN
does not “require” confidentiality from the vendors, as
some of you have inquired about. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">ICANN has
introduced an innovation into its contracting work in
recent years: ICANN has imposed a requirement on all its
contractors to fill out conflict of interest statements,
which require both the contractor and ICANN to carefully
consider the impact of other relationships as it may the
work performed by ICANN. ICANN takes the issue of
conflicts seriously, and expects its vendors to do the
same. Most new contracts that ICANN enters into now
contain such conflict of interest statements. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">In light of
the various questions or comments that arose from
several of you, we have reviewed specifically the
contracts with the vendors that are listed in the
category of “Education/Engagement”, subject to Brett’s
original request for information.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">ICANN
enters into confidentiality obligations as a result of
bilateral negotiations with vendors - either using ICANN
templates or vendor supplied templates. The
confidentiality provisions in these 7 contracts were in
many instances vendor supplied forms and do not allow,
either explicitly or implicitly, for ICANN to disclose
publicly the value of the services rendered, or, in
several cases, any information pertaining to the
contract without mutual agreement. This is consistent
with common business and procurement practices, notably
for professional services where services and financial
terms are highly customized to each customer and project
and are viewed by the service providers as competitive
information.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Regarding
lobbying expenses disclosure, lobbying is a well-defined
activity in the US, and ICANN complies with all defined
disclosure requirements, which those of you who are
lobbyists themselves know well. None of the groups above
were engaged in lobbying on behalf of ICANN. Again,
refer to the blog posted in October 2015 on this topic
(which I had included in my previous answers to the
recurring questions on lobbying) referenced below. In
addition, Brett has shared below the information that is
disclosed by the lobbying firms that ICANN has engaged,
retrieved from the link I shared in my previous email.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

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>

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><o:p></o:p></p>

ICANN, which is an
NGO acting in the

style="background:white"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p
class="MsoNormal"
style="background:white"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;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><o:p></o:p></p>
