[Ws2-transparency] Discussion Thread: Transparency for ICANN Legal

[Michael Karanicolas]

Hi all,

Following up on last week's call, I have written to ICANN Legal to
request more information about areas that could be opened up. Just as
a reminder, our current Recommendation is that the DIDP policy be
tweaked so that attorney-client privilege should only be invoked if it
relates to information whose disclosure would be harmful to an ongoing
or contemplated lawsuit or negotiation, and explicitly mandate the
disclosure of broader policy-making advice received from lawyers.

I am attaching a short backgrounder that I had a couple of my students
draft up, to sort of kick off discussions. It would be helpful if,
moving forward from this, we could brainstorm some areas of
information that people would be interested in seeing disclosed. Any
ideas or thoughts would be very welcome.

Best,

Michael
