While I understand that the $, $$, $$$ indicators are not as helpful as the actual amounts, I had hoped that they would provide enough information to understand which of the candidates fit within budget and which surpass the budgeted amount. If you could help us understand how the actual amounts might aid the WG members’ decision-making process, hopefully we can find a way to still provide helpful information. For instance, perhaps you need to know how much in excess of the budget any candidates with the $$$ are, in the event that the WG determines one of those candidates to be by far the most qualified to do the work?</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Paul Keating <<a href="mailto:Paul@law.es">Paul@law.es</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at 11:41 AM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Steve Chan <<a href="mailto:steve.chan@icann.org">steve.chan@icann.org</a>>, "<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org">gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org">gnso-igo-ingo-crp@icann.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Legal Expert Candidates<br></div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><div>Thank you.

This email is in regards to the candidates available to perform the research related to the questions developed by this working group. Apologies for the late delivery of this information.</div><div><br></div><div>In staff’s conversations with the candidates, we found that we were fortunate to have a number of qualified individuals to choose from, who appreciated the complexity of the WG’s questions that were shared with them. While the selection of the expert is
a decision for the WG, at least from a staff perspective, we felt that David P. Stewart had the right combination of expertise, availability, and cost. I would like to point the WG members to the Wiki (<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Legal+Expert+Selection">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Legal+Expert+Selection</a>) to
review the collection of candidates that have expressed their interest in contributing to this project, along with background, qualifications, scholarship, and other information that the candidates thought would be helpful in evaluating their ability to provide
expertise to this project. You will notice a column labeled “Cost”that is intended to provide WG members with a rough understanding of when a candidate is beyond the expected budget for this work, so that this factor can be taken into account in the selection
process. </div><div><br></div><div>If there are any questions, staff will be happy to try and provide answers.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Steven Chan</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br>
