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

 a more structured conversation, such as&nbsp;WS2 Transparency&nbsp;subgroup, where issues of transparency and document disclosure are scheduled for conversation. &nbsp;I look forward to supporting the deliberations there and participating in&nbsp;the conversations.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Times"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">All,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;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&nbsp;<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:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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.&nbsp; Many of these contracts contain confidentiality clauses, including those requested by vendors.&nbsp; This is normal throughout commercial contracting practice.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">ICANN has introduced an innovation into its contracting work in recent years: ICANN has imposed a requirement on all its contractors to fill&nbsp;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.&nbsp; 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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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

 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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">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 style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">ICANN does not have other lobbying activities, corresponding to the established definition of such activities.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

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>
