think that using a tried and tested approach would make sense.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current draft ICANN bylaws (Section
18.4(a)) includes below relating to the reports that PTI will
deliver to the IFRT:
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:0in"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";background:yellow">Reports
provided by PTI pursuant to the IANA Naming Function
Contract and/or IANA Naming Function SOW during the IFR
period being reviewed, any portion of which may be redacted
(i) that reflects privileged advice from legal counsel; (ii)
includes PTI or ICANN trade secrets; (iii) where disclosure
to the IFRT would otherwise constitute a breach by PTI or
ICANN of a binding contractual obligation or legal
requirement to which PTI or ICANN is subject; or (iv) if
disclosed would present a material risk of negative impact
on the security, stability or resiliency of the DNS;</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The comment noted in the CWG response
circulated on 9 April 2016 was as follows:
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black;background:yellow">Has
the same redaction problem we find in other reviews. This
should be treated in the same way as confidential
information is treated in ATRT, i.e. signature of NDA (ref
Confidential Disclosure to Review Teams <a href="http://4.6.a.vi" target="_blank">4.6.a.vi</a>). May need
to refer to EC right of inspection as appeal mechanism if
NDA is not a possible solution.</span><span style="color:black">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">For reference
Section 4.6(a)(vi) provides as follows:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

Disclosure to Review Teams:
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:1.75in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(A)</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">
To facilitate transparency and openness regarding ICANN’s
deliberations and operations, the Review Teams, or a subset
thereof, shall have access to ICANN internal information and
documents pursuant to the Confidential Disclosure Framework
set forth in the Operating Standards. The Confidential
Disclosure Framework must be aligned with the following
guidelines:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:3.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(1)</span><span>
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">ICANN
must provide a justification for any refusal to reveal
requested information. ICANN’s refusal can be appealed to
the Ombudsman and/or the ICANN Board for a ruling on the
disclosure request.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:3.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(2)</span><span>
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">ICANN
may designate certain documents and information as “for
review team members only” or for a subset of the review team
members based on conflict of interest. ICANN’s designation
of documents may also be appealed to the Ombudsman and/or
the ICANN Board.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.5in;text-indent:.5in">ICANN
may require review team members to sign a non-disclosure
agreement before accessing documents.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can CWG please clarify what process is
being requested for redactions on reports provided to PTI? Is
the suggestion that 4.6(a)(vi) above replace what is currently
in 18.4(a))? If so, we understand that the Confidential
Disclosure Framework may not be final yet. Has CWG seen
drafts and is it comfortable with this process?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let us know so that we can mark-up
the ICANN draft bylaws accordingly. This is a point on which
the CWG proposal is silent so there isn’t guidance contained
within the proposal.<u></u><u></u></p>
