Xavier,

I appreciate the detailed breakdown on the legal fees That is indeed what I was looking for though I would think it useful to have the totals provided in the summary document.

However, I did not see similar information for lobbying or education/ engagement/advice in the links provided. In fact, the only specific information that I saw listed is for Jamie Hedlund at $200,000. No information on other individual firms or vendors is listed at all – only the top line budget expenditure in the summary document link originally sent around.

Could you provide that information?

Thanks,

Brett

Dear all,
It appears that the first link in my email further below (detail of legal fees by firm) does not resolve correctly. Please use the below instead.

Dear Brett,
Thank you for your interest and question.
We currently publish the list of all vendors from whom ICANN obtain services in relation to the IANA Stewardship transition. The $$ value of the services received is aggregated by category of expenses, which you mention below (US Government affairs, Education/engagement/advice,…). This presentation is driven by 2 factors: providing clarity as to the type of services received, and abiding by the contractual obligation of confidentiality in force with each of the vendors (resulting from standard business sensitive information).
We do publish however the detail of the legal advice, by firm and by working group, on this same page (see for example the link to the report of fees by firm: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-expenses-legal-firm-fy16-01jun16-en.pdf).
You will also find more information relative to ICANN’s lobbying in the following blog published a few months ago. In this blog, you will also find links to the disclosure reports that ICANN makes on lobbying activities.
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/lobbying-disclosures-contributions-2015-11-18-en.
Lastly, further information on lobbying appears in ICANN’s form 990 (Schedule C, Part II-B. On page 33/73 of the FY15 form 990 published at the following link):
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/fy-2015-form-990-10may16-en.pdf
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you.

Best,
Xavier

Xavier,

Thank you. Could you please provide a more detailed breakdown of legal advice, US government affairs, and educations/engagement/advice? In each category, there are multiple firms/vendors listed (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-expenses-professional-vendor-01jun16-en.pdf). I would appreciate the amount provided to each individual vendor. If it is provided somewhere, I would appreciate you letting me know where to find it.

Much appreciated,

Brett
