Dear Jonathan,
 
Following up on your request for estimates for the CWG work outlined below,
please see below.  Please note that these are rough estimates only.  These
estimates are highly dependent on the extent of back and forth and the
number of drafts that are provided for our review which we can¹t predict.
 
1.  Drafting the Letter to CCWG: $20,000 (this includes the substantive
review to support the conclusions in the letter).
 
2.  ICANN Bylaws:
 
                To date we have $185,000 in fees for this work.  The
additional fees are highly dependent on the number of iterations that are
done on the bylaws.  Assuming that are role is limited to implementing one
round of the CWG responses to our questions and reviewing one additional
turn of the CWG-related bylaws by ICANN legal, we would anticipate an
additional $150,000-175,000.
 
4.  Creation of PTI and Drafting of Articles and Bylaws
 
                We would estimate this work would be $175,000-200,000.
Again this is highly dependent on process and number of iterations.
 
Please let us know if you have any questions or would like to discuss.
 
Best regards,
Sharon

CWG Client Committee Colleagues
 
ICANN is asking for work plans in order to best estimate the ongoing costs
associated with the transition project. Since the single largest expenditure
is legal fees, there is understandably an enhanced focus on this.
 
Lise and I discussed it and we see the areas of future work as follows:
 
1.     The drafting of a Letter to the CCWG on dependencies.
This is work in progress and should be complete in the next week or so.

2.     The work to draft ICANN bylaws pertaining to PTI
An initial draft was prepared. CWG are in the process of providing input to
a series of questions raised.
Thereafter, Sidley will take our output and further refine their original
draft.
Thereafter, we expect to hand the pen to ICANN legal staff for further
drafting and integration with other bylaw work.
We can expect that we will require of Sidley that they undertake one or more
reviews of this work.

3.     ICANN legal and operational staff are taking the lead on the Creation
and setup of PTI
We can expect that we will require of Sidley that they undertake one or more
reviews of this work.

 
 
This seems to be the scope of the work for which ICANN will need to estimate
and budget.
Before we put this to the CWG, please feel free to provide and comment or
supplementary input.
 

Many thanks,
 
 
 
Jonathan
