Paul, As the process remains in the selection phase, contractual negotiation have not yet begun and it would be I think problematic to have ICANN¹s budget for this exercise called out on a public email list. While I understand that the $, $$, $$$ indicators are not as helpful as the actual amounts, I had hoped that they would provide enough information to understand which of the candidates fit within budget and which surpass the budgeted amount. If you could help us understand how the actual amounts might aid the WG members¹ decision-making process, hopefully we can find a way to still provide helpful information. For instance, perhaps you need to know how much in excess of the budget any candidates with the $$$ are, in the event that the WG determines one of those candidates to be by far the most qualified to do the work?

Can you give us some idea of what the budget cost is and what the various level indications are between $, $$ and $$$? Absent this it is not very meaningful.

Dear WG Members,
I hope this email finds you well. This email is in regards to the candidates available to perform the research related to the questions developed by this working group. Apologies for the late delivery of this information.
In staff¹s conversations with the candidates, we found that we were fortunate to have a number of qualified individuals to choose from, who appreciated the complexity of the WG¹s questions that were shared with them. While the selection of the expert is a decision for the WG, at least from a staff perspective, we felt that David P. Stewart had the right combination of expertise, availability, and cost. I would like to point the WG members to the Wiki (https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoicrpmpdp/Legal+Expert+Selection) to review the collection of candidates that have expressed their interest in contributing to this project, along with background, qualifications, scholarship, and other information that the candidates thought would be helpful in evaluating their ability to provide expertise to this project. You will notice a column labeled ³Cost²that is intended to provide WG members with a rough understanding of when a candidate is beyond the expected budget for this work, so that this factor can be taken into account in the selection process.
If there are any questions, staff will be happy to try and provide answers.
Best, Steve
