<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;"><b>Opening Remarks</b></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">Purpose of Client Com is to make an effecient link between the large CWG and the contracted legal counsel. Limited in remit to functional purpose. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;"><b>Confirmation of current legal work</b></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">Sidley is monitoring the CCWG work and modifying the Bylaws matrix based on CWG edits. Updates to the IPR memo are on hold. In general, counsel is ready to move in any/all direction(s) as instructed.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;"><b>Bylaws Drafting </b></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">CCWG Chairs have a different process than envisioned by the CWG, but they have indicated that they will not object to the different processes. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">We could formally expect to instruct work on the CWG Bylaws drafting as of next week, subject to a call with Chairs and ICANN on Friday. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">Difference in processes between CWG and CCWG because the CWG is starting with a clean slate (so Sidley could hold the pen). The CCWG work involves modifictions to ICANN's Bylaws, so the rationale for ICANN holding the pen is agreed to by the CCWG Chairs. Sidley believes that it would be more efficient for Sidley to hold the pen based on deeper understanding of CCWG intent and nuances of Proposal. </p>

<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;"><b>Monitoring of CWG requirements in CCWG Proposal</b></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(4, 51, 255);">Action: Sidley to provide an update on the meeting of requirements so that the CWG can submit this into the CCWG Public Comment before its close on the 12th. Sidley will draft the comment for submission by early next week (latest Tuesday). </p>

<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;"><b>Review of financial monitoring/process</b></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">Sidley provided a discount at the outset. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">Sidley has an arrangement with the CCWG Chairs to see their billing, but billing should not be public. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;">Sildey is ok with bills being shared with the Client Committee (confidential)</p><p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica;"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11.5px; font-family: Helvetica; color: rgb(4, 51, 255);"><b>Action:</b>Chairs to request billing from ICANN with Sidley's permission and inform the CWG of process for review and monitoring. </p>
