ICANN intends to evaluate applications to become the successor operator for the .org top-level domain in as open and transparent a manner as is reasonably feasible. At the same time, however, ICANN recognizes that to encourage applicants to provide all documents and information relevant to the application, it is appropriate to afford applicants the opportunity to submit legitimate trade-secret information with a request for confidential handling by ICANN. Except to the extent that it expressly agrees otherwise in writing, ICANN will be free to disclose and use information submitted in connection with an application in any manner and to anyone it deems appropriate. If the applicant wishes ICANN to accord confidential treatment to any material in its application or otherwise submitted in connection with the application, the applicant must expressly request confidential treatment of that material in this statement and mark the material with the legend "CONFIDENTIAL." Applicants are strongly encouraged to avoid, or at least to minimize, requests for confidential treatment of material in applications or submitted in connection with applications. Any request for confidential handling will be reviewed for confidentiality by ICANN staff before further consideration of the material to which the request relates. In general, requests for confidential treatment will be strongly disfavored, and granted only for extraordinarily compelling reasons. ICANN will promptly notify the applicant of the extent to which ICANN is willing to agree to treat the designated material in a as confidential and the manner in which ICANN is willing to handle that material, requesting a response from the applicant within two business days. If ICANN is not willing to agree to the applicant's request for confidential handling in its entirety, ICANN and the applicant will discuss the matter in an effort to reach a written agreement on confidential treatment of materials. Only a written agreement, signed by ICANN's President or Vice-President, will be binding on ICANN. In the event the applicant requests confidential treatment of materials and ICANN and the applicant do not agree on provisions for confidential treatment within a period designated by ICANN, ICANN will, to the extent of the disagreement, delete all material submitted by applicant that is subject to applicant's request for confidentiality. The deleted information will then cease to be part of the applicant's application and will not be considered by ICANN in reviewing the application, nor will the deleted information be disclosed or otherwise used by ICANN. After being advised of what has been deleted, the applicant will be offered (for two business days) the opportunity to withdraw the application and obtain a refund of the US$35,000 interim evaluation fee. ICANN intends to use reasonable efforts to meet the timing and related requirements of this section I, but shall not be liable for failing to meet them.
