Hi Bruce

What advice has Jones Day or ICANN's in house legal team given to the Board - either directly or through management - or directly to management - that has led to erroneous conclusions regarding whether or not the decisions to exercise powers on the part of a member can be constrained or not?

Such erroneous conclusions were evident from the comments of some board members in Los Angeles.

Can that advise or a summary of it be shared with the CCWG?

Thanks
Jordan

Hello Farzaneh,


>>   I understand that the Board has made the Jones Day impact assessment available. But in a note it states that it has had discussions with advisors and staff. I would also like to request for any document that the Board has received in its discussion with the advisors and staff and notes of the  deliberation of their meetings.

Yes our intent is to make all documents available.   So far the only one that I am aware of is the Jones Day analysis that was published.

We received verbal briefings form the Advisors to the CCWG (https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/Advisors) , and I understand these advisors also gave verbal briefings to the CCWG, as well as any written comments they have posted to the public comments forum.


Regards,
