if we can cull needless questions and make better use of the funds
we do have. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Janis, if more budget may be needed for
legal advice, can you start the process of acquiring it? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marika noted in chat today: “Do also note
that there is a limited budget available - passing all these
questions on may take up most of that budget which might
prevent follow up on any further questions the group may
have.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This PDP is fundamentally about legal
issues, and having access to legal advice is essential. This
is a place where ICANN should be spending resources. Please
see SAC104, where SSAC raised this issue to the Council last
December:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“2.2 Legal Advice v The EPDP has been
largely about legal issues, but the EPDP team has not [always]
had access to neutral, expert, outside legal advice. [Bird
& Bird was not retained until late into Phase 1.] This is
a notable omission given the consequences and regulatory
complexity of the work. The SSAC urges the GNSO Council to
re-examine this as further policy-making takes place in 2019
and beyond. This subject is a worthy place to spend ICANN
budget given the priority and nature of the work, and a place
to apply all the professional tools at ICANN’s disposal, in
order to carry out ICANN’s responsibility to ensure the stable
and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier
systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">… neutral legal advice would provide
substantial benefit by fostering common understandings,
consensus, and confidence in the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">deliberations and work product. In
particular, it may help policy-makers understand the options
available to them, given that bodies such as the European Data
Protection Board and the national data commissioners are not
in a position to answer many questions or evaluate policy
proposals.”<o:p></o:p></p>
