At the end of the day, will it provide information that we can easily understand and use? For the comments we are seeking, context is key. We will want to understand the context in which our respondents are responding - who are they, what are they concerned about, why do certain approaches address their need? Out of context, in answer to a single question in the abstract, we may lack information for the best analysis and use at the end of the day. Full comments may be best here. Best, Kathy :
Hello everyone,
Just to summarize where we are on this - as of the 30 April deadline, two Additional Statements were received, both of which were also posted by their respective submitters to this mailing list. One was sent in by Kiran on behalf of DomainTools; Facebook Inc.; LegitScript; MarkMonitor; and Smith, Gambrell & Russell LLP. Another was sent in by Kathy on behalf of herself, Stephanie Perrin, David Cake and James Gannon (members of the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group), and Holly Raiche (member of the At-Large Advisory Committee).
We plan to attribute each statement as noted above in Annex F of the Initial Report, which is where a placeholder for such statements had been put in the draft Initial Report. We have also, as requested by the co-vice-chairs, created a page on the WG wiki that references documents and discussions that were pertinent to the WG’s discussion of the “transactional” issue, and will include a hyperlink to this page from Section 1.3.3 of the Initial Report.
More generally, with the co-vice-chairs’ approval, we will be replicating all the WG’s preliminary conclusions and open questions in a survey (using SureveyMonkey), and offering that as an option to commenters if a survey format (with space for free form text) might be easier for them and their communities to respond to. Some WG members may know that this is a tool we have begun to use to facilitate community input for recent GNSO WGs, e.g. T e GNSO Policy & Implementation WG. Being an additional tool, the survey will not preclude, replace or displace a commenter’s ability to submit comments in the more “traditional” format, and this will be highlighted in the background and directions for submitting public comment.
Thanks and cheers Mary

Hi Jim,
Very generous. Staff - please make that change to the statement I submitted, if it is deemed that is the correct way to represent these signatories.
However, if any individual attorney or any individual at all wants to sign to any statement in their appropriate capacity as a member of the ICANN community, I strenuously object to ANY attempt to stop them from doing so.
Thanks,
Kiran

This is not related to any constituency or SG’s membership or participation rules. We have three individual representatives on the WG who wish to lend support to this statement. However, we previously established that companies (not individuals) would be listed as signatories, which would indicate that the firm itself (SGR) should be listed once.
You’ve also explained that while these individual attorneys are associated with the same firm, they serve different clients. Also, fine but to remain consistent with the previous thread we should list those client organizations, rather than their individual representatives. If they are unable/unwilling to disclose those clients, then the indication of support should roll up to the firm.

I don't understand this recommendation. If they are individual members of the constituency, and that is the capacity of their representation to the ICANN Community, and they each have individual SOIs, what is the basis for your recommendation? I would certainly be happy to leave the determination to staff, but it seems to me like you are trying to change the capacity of their membership to their constituency, which I would consider inappropriate.
Enjoy your Saturday!

Understood.
If the individual attorneys are unable/unwilling to disclose the names of the clients whose support they are lending to the statement, then I recommend we fall back to their posted SOIs. Which takes us back to a single entry for the firm itself.

Most lawyers don't disclose their clientele list.
If they are individuals members of the IPC or BC, and they are listed consistently with that membership and therefore the capacity of their participation at ICANN, that is the right way to represent themselves.
Oftentimes, because of internal big firm conflicts, etc., it is inappropriate to ask a firm to be listed as a firm.
