What are the name so the eight firms and which one of those firms are in conflict?

Thank you.

All:

I write to update you all on the activities of the Client Committee.

The Client Committee met on Friday, February 20.  Also attending were representatives of ICANN legal, since they will need to play a role in the selection and engagement of counsel.

We had initially identified a total of eight firms. Each firm has appropriate expertise in corporate governance, non-profit matters, trusts, etc.  Each firm also has a strong California presence, as well as other offices in the US and other countries.  

One firm has withdrawn due to workload issues.  Four firms have withdrawn due to client conflicts

We are left with a short list of three firms.  Each of these firms has now sent us a document discussing their relevant capabilities.  At least one member of the client committee has had a preliminary discussion with each firm.  We are now in the process of setting up a series of follow-up calls for this week between the Client Committee and each firm.

While we would like to reveal the names of the firms remaining on the short list, at this point, it is premature to do so.  We will need to ask each firm permission to identify it to this group.  We will discuss this with them during our calls this week.

We will keep the CWG updated on our progress.

Best regards,

Greg Shatan

for the Client Committee
