<p><br />I guess yes. iCANN sure has a list of contracts/ or persons under 
contract ( as several staffs are) to provide if needed.</p>

<div dir="ltr"><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: 
Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">I have a few concerns about this 
document.  </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: 
Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">First, I suggest that "investment 
interest" be defined to exclude ownership of a de minimis number of shares in a 
publicly traded company.  Otherwise, anyone who neglected to mention (or 
perhaps even to know) that s/he owned a share of Microsoft, Google (both 
accredited registrars) or Verisign (among others) might run afoul of section 
5.3.3.3.i.  </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: 
Arial; color: #0000ff; font-size: x-small;">Second,  we need to recognize that 
there will be circumstances in which a requirement (under section 5.3.3.3.ii) 
to disclose that (for example) a lawyer represents Google in a matter totally 
unrelated to anything in the ICANN purview could present a problem or at least 
a considerable delay in getting permission to disclose the representation.  I 
suppose these could be treated as an "extenuating circumstance" under 5.5.1 and 
I do not have an amendment to propose at this point but just wanted to flag the 
problem.  </span></span></div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: 
#0000ff; font-size: x-small;">Third, the requirement to disclose "potential ... 
investment interest in  or compensation arrangement with...." contracted 
parties (section 5.3.3.3.iii) will need to be administered in a common-sense 
manner.  Potentially, almost anything could happen.  A potential that is 
concrete and imminent ought to be distinguished from the broader range of 
potential occurrences.  I hope we can assume common sense but that assumption 
is not always well founded.  </span></span></div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: 
#0000ff; font-size: x-small;">Fourth, is the reference to "nomination/selection 
as a work team member" in section 5.3.3.5.v still relevant now that 
participation in many of the GNSO entities is completely self-selected, with no 
other nomination or selection process?  Shouldn't this be changed to 
"participation"?  </span></span></div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: 
#0000ff; font-size: x-small;">Fifth, I believe the reference to "Declarations 
of Interest" in section 5.2.1 should be changed to "Disclosures of Interest" 
which is the term used throughout the rest of the document.  
</span></span></div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: 
#0000ff; font-size: x-small;">In view of where this stands in the process,  I 
won't press the second or third point above, but ask that the simple amendments 
proposed in 1, 2, and 5 above be made before the document is passed to the 
Council. I have also asked my constituency leadership for any further input 
they can provide by the Sunday deadline. </span></span></div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"></span> </div>
<div><span class="377401521-09042010"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: 
#0000ff; font-size: x-small;">In my defense, I will note that the deadline for 
comments on this document was the 16th until it was accelerated today to the 
11th.   I would love to have the luxury of attending to these documents as soon 
as I receive them but the nature of the ICANN public comment decathlon does not 
permit that and I have no choice but to deal with these roughly in the order of 
their impending deadlines.   </span></span></div>
