<div>If the only communications that are intended to be covered by this are the communications called for in the Bylaws, I do not have an issue. That was in 6.3 before.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the broader issue of what happens if the EC or the EC Administration receives communications, or makes communications outside of what is required in the Bylaws, maybe the issue as simple as requiring the EC to use a publicly archived mailing list,
then no one has to post anything?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In terms of revisions to Article 6 and Section 21.5, are there any revisions you can provide back to us?</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">As we review the ICANN comments, a few of them relate to the notice provisions and our efforts to make EC and the EC Chairs Council totally transparent. So I
wanted to close the loop on the thread below. I have not coordinated on this with Holly, so she may have different views, but we at Adler need some clarification to complete our comments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Sam and ICANN Legal, I think one thing you are saying might be that where the Bylaws permit the EC Chairs Council to make a communication that’s not a notice (and
we’re pulling together some examples from the Bylaws of these), we should leave transparency methods to implementation? I don’t know if the CCWG feels the same way, so if that’s your concern, we can either make communications transparent now, or ask the CCWG
if it’s OK to leave to implementation. And if we leave it to implementation, I don’t see how the EC makes a decision like that – we’ve made it clear that the EC can only do what’s listed in the Bylaws, and making such decisions isn’t there that I can recall.
I don’t really want to add a process at this late date for the EC to make other decisions, and I thought ICANN was happy not to have one anyway. So we’re leaning toward expressly providing in the Bylaws now for full transparency of all EC/EC Chairs Council
communications, to or from. Setting aside the exact method (next question) does that work for you?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">I think you are also saying it’s not appropriate to have the ICANN Secretary (or his/her staff) posting EC stuff, except for notices. We were thinking the CCWG
wanted everything transparent, with the only exception being where transparency would disadvantage the EC in a dispute, such as a waiver of attorney-client privilege. As the EC has no staff and only the Chairs of the DP SO/ACs acting as the EC Admin as its
volunteers, it seemed appropriate to have ICANN taking care of it, as part of the totality of EC admin that ICANN does. Is there a better option than the ICANN Secretary? Is there a staff position within ICANN, or an internal ICANN department/group that
would be appropriate for this task? I don’t care if it’s the Secretary versus some other position; I just would like to assign the ministerial duty to someone. Other thoughts? You mentioned an EC website, but again, I’m hesitant to introduce a new concept
at this late date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">We have a concern with the language as provided at 21.5(b), and with the note accompanying that language. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">This seems to confuse the issue of communications among the EC and its decisional participants with notices, and I think we’d benefit from keeping 21.5 just about notices. To that end, I’d remove
the inclusion of communications, as well as the specific reference to the EC Chairs Council in the new (b). There shouldn’t be any notices that the Secretary receives from the EC, Chairs Council, or Decisional Participants that there would be any concern
in posting. Further, the communications reference, as previously seen at 6.3, was easily understood as communications called for within the Bylaws, and not just a general “communications” reference as it now reads. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">I think that the communications reference remains is better housed in Article 6 – there needs to be some assurance of transparency of those processes and discussions of how they interact with each
other within their governing document. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">As we’ve discussed previously, there still is nothing in the Bylaws that gives assurance of transparency of the EC processes, as there have been statements that their processes will be so transparent
anyway that we don’t need to address it. The more I look at the recent edits, the more I’m concerned that we’re trying to house the EC’s transparency requirements with ICANN’s Secretary, which seems quite awkward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">The EC will have to develop clear rules on how it will communicate to maintain privilege (if appropriate) , for example, in the maintenance of an IRP or a legal action, but I don’t think that’s
something we address by reference in the notice section. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
