I'm not sure that (A) (language of conditionality) is truly "legal" but I think they are well placed to provide it. I think we will also need Sidley to provide the voice of reason and reasoned/expert legal interpretation to help keep us from driving into the weeds or in reverse as some folks just won't let go of dearly-held beliefs and concerns despite the lack of a legal or factual basis. This will be necessary on tomorrow's call (but hopefully, not too necessary).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">As for #2, Grace has now circulated all of the ICG/CWG/CCWG meetings in one handy email. From our POV, I expect that we would like Holly and/or Sharon (but preferably "and") at all the CWG meetings and at the Sunday info session, and I expect the Public Forum will deal with "us" as well. We need to figure out if they should prepare anything more than just being prepared to field questions as they come. Will they be presenting anything at any of our sessions?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 3, 2015 at 4:29 PM, Lise Fuhr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lise.fuhr@difo.dk" target="_blank">lise.fuhr@difo.dk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Hi All,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">I can confirm the understanding. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Best,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Lise<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #b5c4df 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="DA" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Fra:</span></b><span lang="DA" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> <a href="mailto:cwg-client-bounces@icann.org" target="_blank">cwg-client-bounces@icann.org</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:cwg-client-bounces@icann.org" target="_blank">cwg-client-bounces@icann.org</a>] <b>På vegne af </b>Jonathan Robinson<br><b>Sendt:</b> 3. juni 2015 17:22<br><b>Til:</b> Client<br><b>Emne:</b> [client com] Instructions to Sidley<br><b>Prioritet:</b> Høj<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DA"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">All,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Following discussions within the CWG last week, and again yesterday, it seems essential that we communicate effectively with Sidley in three areas:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p><u></u><span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>The CWG’s requirements in order to finish the proposal<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u><span>2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>The CWG’s requirements to support the proposal in B.A.<u></u><u></u></p><p><u></u><span>3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>The CWG’s potential requirements post B.A. and/or with implementation<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Arguably, the current scope of work deals with 1 & 2 above and we have not yet properly scoped or discussed 3.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Of 1 & 2 above, 1 is clearly most urgent so I’ll concentrate on that here.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:red">N.B.
