that we should say that we cannot truly know the significance of the cost impacts until we have further financial analysis of the legal separation model and I definitely think that we should request the ICANN Finance Team to start that analysis now. It will
probably take them several weeks to do it and the process will involve interaction with the CWG so that they understand the model sufficiently to do the analysis.

The first analysis can be done in parallel with the public comment period. But if we wait to initiate the analysis until after the public comment period, it will likely not be completed when we submit a proposal to the SOs/ACs for approval.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

called "corporate housekeeping") -- I'd daresay among our counsel they have done and continue to do this for hundreds (if not thousands) of corporations. From my own experience and knowledge, corporate formation and corporate housekeeping are essentially
ministerial tasks, and are neither particularly complex or time-consuming (though it requires some familiarity and experience to do these tasks). It's really a fairly objective and entirely reasonable statement for someone with the requisite knowledge to
say that these "can be fairly minimal." Indeed, I can't think of a scenario where attending to corporate formalities would not be fairly minimal.</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Similarly, I'm fairly sure counsel have dealt many times with the costs associated with having business units in wholly-owned or
controlled subsidiaries rather than divisions, and they are aware of what those costs are. Again this seems like a reasonable statement and one that I'm sure is made objectively. From my experience, the costs that are a direct result of running a business
as a subsidiary, as opposed to as a business unit within the same entity, are not significant.</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

giving the impression that the opposite (corporate formalities are not fairly minimal; costs resulting from operating a business as a subsidiary (vs. as a business unit) are significant) could be true creates FUD where there should be none. Therefore, I think
it would be appropriate to accept this advice.</span></font><font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

action would be to ask counsel to explain the basis of the statements. Alternatively, we could insert "counsel advises" after "although" in each statement. Let me say that I don't believe we need to do either of these things. But, if the group is not willing
to accept these and move on, these are the courses of action that should be considered.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
