new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group: May 2018 Newsletter out now
by Joke Braeken May 3, 2018

May 3, 2018

Dear All, Please find below a message from the co-chairs of the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group, and in attachment the May 2018 edition of the CCWG’s newsletter. Thank you. Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken(a)icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org<http://ccnso.icann.org/> Dear all, This is to inform you that the CCWG on new gTLD Auction Proceeds has published the May 2018 edition of its newsletter on the group’s wiki space: https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Newsletters The group’s newsletters are aimed at keeping chartering organisations and others interested up to date regarding the current status of the work by this group. About the CCWG new gTLD Auction Proceeds The new gTLD Program established auctions as a mechanism of last resort to resolve string contention. Most string contentions (approximately 90% of sets scheduled for auction) have been resolved through other means before reaching an auction conducted by ICANN's authorized auction service provider, Power Auctions LLC. However, it was recognized from the outset that significant funds could accrue as a result of several auctions. As such, these auction proceeds have been reserved and earmarked until the Board authorizes a plan for the appropriate use of the funds. Board, staff, and community are expected to be working together in designing and participating in the next steps addressing the use of new gTLD auction proceeds. It should be recognized though that these proceeds are to be considered as an exceptional, one-time source of revenue. The CCWG was chartered by the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), and the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) to propose the mechanism that should be developed in order to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. Following approval of the proposal(s) by the Chartering Organizations, it will be submitted to the ICANN Board for its consideration. More information * New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Workspace, including Charter, background documents and information: https://buff.ly/2xeLKt9 * CCWG Work Plan: https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Work+Plan Best regards, Erika Mann, Ching Chiao Co-chairs of the Cross-Community Working Group on new gTLD Auction Proceeds

FW: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Update on proposal for a Cross Community Engagement Group (CCEG)
by Katrina Sataki May 3, 2018

May 3, 2018

FYI From: So-ac-sg-cleaders [mailto:so-ac-sg-cleaders-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond Sent: Monday, April 30, 2018 11:30 AM To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Update on proposal for a Cross Community Engagement Group (CCEG) Dear SO/AC/SG/C/RALO leaders: As you may be aware the Cross Community Working Group on Internet Governance (CCWG-IG), learning the concerns expressed by the GNSO regarding its status as a Cross Community Working Group, has drawn up a Charter for a proposed Cross Community Engagement Group (CCEG-IG). In contrast to the recently agreed requirements for a CCWG, the CCEG proposed would not have a defined end-date or a final objective. It would, though allow SOs and ACs to charter it just like a CCWG. This proposal was made in February 2018 in order to obtain feedback from the then chartering organisations of the CCWG and the working group is yet to receive formal feedback in order to make this a charter that's suitable to replace the CCWG. The CCWG IG co-chairs understand that there might be questions arising from the proposed CCEG and the proposed charter (which is attached).. We would therefore be available to come to your meeting at ICANN62 to explain the charter and to listen to your suggestions on how to improve it. Please liaise with Nigel Hickson in the GE team (nigel.hickson(a)icann.org <mailto:nigel.hickson@icann.org> ) and us in order to arrange for a slot in your agenda. Kindest regards, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond (co-chair for ALAC) Young Eum Lee (co-chair for ccNSO)
