Dear Brett,
I believe Xavier is on medical leave as he will be having surgery. I don't have more details but I'm sure Xavier will come back to is with answers as soon as he recovers.
Best regards,
León

> I'd like to stick to the topic we are discussing which is disclosure about 'advisors', and lobbyists, and not venture until the gTLDs contracts. I fear that would become a bog that is too unbounded, with some questioning the marketing plans of different gTLDs, like give aways, etc.
>
> So, I ask that as this is the CCWG-ACCT, and the topic is about the amounts paid for consultants specifically working on the IANA transition -- and who they are -- and that they have only ICANN as a client, not also members of ICANN's community on directly related subjects -- we stick to that discussion.
>
> All law firms in the US 'clear' conflicts before accepting a new client, and all corporations 'clear' their consultants. While this may be confidential in both these cases, I do agree that a public interest NGO, which is what ICANN is, can best serve itself, and the interest of the broader ICANN community by as much transparency as possible. BUT let's keep it high level and civil in our request for facts and figures.
>
> As I like to say: Facts are our friends.
>
> Of course, some issues have to be kept confidential.
>
> Who the consultants are has been published, what they were paid would add to the transparency. What they do, at a high level, should be published as well. I will say again that I think that the work is probably much needed. I spend a lot of time -- without being paid -- explaining ICANN as I do my other IG work and it is is a worthwhile task and an important one if we are to demystify ICANN to RoW [Rest of World].

> As the non-lawyer economist here I would like to observe that the discussion has honed in on a specific enough question, one that has an ICANN definitive answer, and that it should be put both to the Board and the new CEO for a an answer and clarification. I previously worried that the ICANN DNS contract with .sucks seemed to verge on ICANN exposing itself to the RICO act in the U.S., given the .sucks marketing plan. Maybe I am overly cautious but as a not-for-profit corporation operating in the public interest ICANN is more than obliged to provide clarity here. Silence won't do.

> I agree completely with Marilyn and Phil. I have been on both sides of non-disclosure agreements – both ones requested by me and ones requested by my clients. Typically, a client (in the position of ICANN) may request that a consultant sign an NDA so as to protect the confidentiality of its efforts or its intellectual property. Sometimes a consultant might have a proprietary methodology or process that they are using on behalf of the client that they wish to protect.
>
> Neither circumstance applies here that I can see. And in no case that I am aware of has a client ever asked me to keep confidential my fee … I don’t broadcast them, but I’m in the private sector. For ICANN, which is an NGO acting in the global public interest, I cannot see any reason at all why ICANN would want or agree to a confidentiality arrangement as to the size of the fee paid.

> In the U.S. much of what used to be done by registered lobbyists is now performed by “strategic advisors” who walk right up to the line of what constitutes lobbying (and maybe a few inches over), and nonetheless facilitate door opening to key members of Congress and the Executive branch, and who “educate” rather than “lobby” members of both branches of government. So while the seven firms may not be engaged in what is considered lobbying under current U.S. law, they are still likely engaged in helping to assure officials outcomes desired by ICANN corporate.
>
> It is for that reason – as well as for the exercise of effective oversight over ICANN budgeting and expenditures – that the community should have more data on this. If ICANN is prohibited by its contracts with these firms from disclosing its expenditures that is unfortunate – and in the future I would hope that ICANN would tell any firms being considered for such duties that its own transparency obligations to the community preclude it from agreeing to such restrictions (I’d wager that the majority of the firms would waive confidentiality rather than lose the contract).
>
> At a minimum, ICANN should disclose the aggregate amounts spent with these seven firms since they were engaged – surely their contracts don’t bar such aggregate reporting.

I just wanted to make sure you had a clear visibility on this information, which provides for (i) categories of expenses, (ii) the individual names of the vendors grouped for each category, and (iii) the total value of the expenses for each category.
> With respect to the contractual obligations of confidentiality in commercial contracts, ICANN is subject to them, like all business organizations. That said, we disclose what we can consistent with standard business confidentiality provisions in vendor contracts. We cannot disclose the specific amount of spend with each vendor but we were able to disclose the names of the service providers engaged.
> Regarding the lobbying expenses, as you are aware, both organizations that hire lobbyists and firms that lobby on behalf of organizations are required under U.S. federal law to file lobbying disclosure reports. In addition to ICANN’s quarterly lobbying disclosures posted on our website, you can find the amounts ICANN has paid to individual outside lobbying firms at http://disclosures.house.gov/ld/ldsearch.aspx.

> 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):
