See, for example, ICANN’s Form 990 for FY15, at <a 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 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.
