Additional Transparency for Private Auctions
Jeff, As promised I am kicking around your suggestion. Can you clarify what you had in mind? Would the parties and dollars need to be reported at the end of every private auction, or in one lump report after the close of the round? I guess I’m a little concerned that Party A and B have a private auction, Party A reports it because they have no more contentions left and the report helps/hurts Party B in an auction with Party C. One final report at the end of a round may be easier to get on board with (although I am still trying to identify unintended consequences). Best, Paul Taft / Paul D.

I believe this should encompass all private resolutions, whether auction or otherwise.

This assumes it's a public disclosure, while I heard two options: public disclosure and disclosure to ICANN, and I added in a previous e-mail disclose to a regulator. But if it comes to public disclosure, defining the end of a round is tricky. 2012 round still hasn't ended... so a fixed embargo might be in order. 12 months would be my first guess, but I am not married to this length.
