Holly and Rosemary,

Many months ago I was part of the small Legal Sub-team that chose to retain both your firms to advise us here on the CCWG. As I've been reading the documents you've just sent us contrasting the Board and CCWG 2nd draft proposals  my initial reaction has been  "damn, we made the right decision".

Thanks you for your extraordinary, detailed, comprehensive and valuable  work. It's of great help.

Best,

Ed Morris

Dear Co-Chairs, Members and Participants of CCWG,

Attached please find three documents to assist in preparation for our meeting in L.A.:


*         A memo from Sidley and Adler with our high level observations regarding comparison between the Board Proposal and the CCWG Proposal.

*         A Summary Comparison of Key Characteristics of CMSM Model and Board Proposal - this or something along these lines will be expanded out in the next several days to include the Sole Designator model as requested on today's call

*         Comparison of CCWG 2nd Draft Proposal (Community Mechanism as Sole Member) and ICANN Board Proposal (Comparison)
We look forward to seeing you in L.A.,

Holly and Rosemary
