There's a difference between an informal briefing from a lawyer, and a formal, written Opinion.

Informal briefings can, to some extent, skate over the detail and technicalities (though I wouldn't expect them to miss the important points).

A written opinion, however, must be carefully considered, and must be comprehensive. That is to say, many billable hours = costly.

Now, it really is worth doing this where there is a specific, well drawn "qualified question" to be answered.

But a widely drawn brief is a recipe for a result that is

(a) confusing additionally or alternatively confused; and
(b) extremely expensive.

I'm as keen as Kavouss and Paul to have a briefing on how ICANN-PTI's obligations have changed since transition, both in law (I suspect not at all ) and de facto (which clearly has changed, from changes in the way existing policy is being interpreted).

But let's have focus.

Hello,

I was not on the call and have not had to bandwidth to look at the
recordings. If this is about Sam's response to the questions Greg was
asking us to provide.

Then I think the ideal thing is to document the responses side by side
with the questions.

A verbal response whether captioned or not should not be applicable
after all the responses must have been documented somewhere before it
was being read out by Sam, so why not just share the document and let's
end this seemingly trivial matter.

    Hi,

    With captioning, don't we already have an equivalent to written answers?
