I'd also like understand better what specifically the expert 3rd parties would be retained to do. My initial instinct is that it is premature to discuss the retention of experts before we understand the questions and answers we are looking for.

I typically think of "expert" work as something on which specialized knowledge, outside the common understanding of members of the counsel, is required. On the .COM Agreement, when we're talking about what contractual issues are properly GNSO policy issues, that strikes me as exactly the sort of thing the Council can and should do on its own. To the extent that we need expertise in registry services technical issues and do not believe that we would get neutral, unbiased input from the registries constituency (no offense intended, folks, just a possibility whenever we have one constituency that is particularly affected by a PDP), that might be another place where expertise would be helpful.
