I believe this should encompass all private resolutions, whether auction or otherwise.

> lump report after the close of the round?  I guess I’m a little concerned that Party A and B have a private auction, Party A reports it because they have no more contentions left and the report helps/hurts Party B in an auction with Party C.  One final report at the end of a round may be easier to get on board with (although I am still trying to identify unintended consequences).

This assumes it's a public disclosure, while I heard two options: public disclosure and disclosure to ICANN, and I added in a previous e-mail disclose to a regulator.
But if it comes to public disclosure, defining the end of a round is tricky. 2012 round still hasn't ended... so a fixed embargo might be in order. 12 months would be my first guess, but I am not married to this length.
