Seun,

Don't read too much into point 1, either.  Law firms always aggregate their time and bill on a monthly basis (unless they bill less often than that, or on a project basis).

+1 to that question as well as it seem to contradict the "rules of engagement":

Another comment from me, is that it seem Sidley is planned for a lengthy period of time (ref: bullet point 1). I hope that won't be the case....Sign

Dear Greg,

I have a question regarding the "client mailing list".

On 13/03/2015 20:23, Greg Shatan wrote:

The "client' mailing list was set up as soon as Sidley was retained so that we could immediately have a transparent list for the legal consultation.   Generally, we have set up lists for each subgroup of this CWG.    The client committee was an exception, and that exception has been rectified.  I'm surprised to hear anyone now suggest the list shouldn't exist.  They are helpful tools, and that will be particularly true with the client committee list, since Sidley lawyers aren't all subscribed to this main list (and it wouldn't be cost effective for them all to be here).

In the Client Committee kick-off call, the notes/action items show the following record:

Public information and transparency

• Hours reporting and fees will be public (on a monthly basis)
• Limit the email exchanges on CWG-Client list for administrative things such as securing a time for a conference call. 
• Archive is live: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-client/
• Most assignments are discussed by phone (recorded and transcribed) and confirmed by email on public mailing list

Could you please explain the meaning of the second bullet point? There's a huge thread on our CWG Stewardship about this list having ICANN staff subscribed (which I am not bothered by), and yet, is this client list only going to be used for administrative things?

Kind regards,

Olivier
