<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Chuck. &nbsp;In a nutshell, we think the survey responses will be very important, and should not generally be kept secret. &nbsp;In order for the Working Party to do its job, and for
 the public to properly weigh in on the recommendations of Westlake and/or the Working Party, the underlying data generally needs to be made available. &nbsp;ICANN is an open and transparent organization, data and opinions are typically shared publicly for the benefit,
 input and buy-in of the entire community. &nbsp;Those respondents who wish to maintain confidentiality of their response can elect to do so, and so that should address any confidentiality concern.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Larisa. &nbsp;IPC notes that the confidentiality default has been changed from the previous draft, so that now responses by default will only be viewed by Westlake. &nbsp;I did not
 note consensus in the Working Party for such a change. &nbsp;IPC&#39;s position is that the default should be public response, with the clear option for any respondent to choose their particular response to remain confidential. &nbsp;We see no justification for &#39;default
 confidential&#39; response, given the importance of this review and of ICANN&#39;s goal to be a transparent organization. &nbsp;The Working Party and the public should have access to the vast majority of the responses so we can adequately comment on Westlake&#39;s analysis
 of them.<u></u><u></u></p>
