November 2017 - Ccwg-auctionproceeds

Call for volunteers to form small group to outline next steps for involving external experts
by Marika Konings Dec. 11, 2017

Dec. 11, 2017

Dear All, Per the new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting earlier today, please share with the list if you are interested to volunteer for the small group to make recommendations on how to cluster the list of external experts identified to date, develop a proposal for a schedule of meetings with external experts as well as review and refine the questions for external experts as well as developing the outreach communication for external experts. As indicated on the call, preference will be given to those with experience in the funding environment. This work is expected to take place in the next two weeks, so please factor that in as you think about volunteering. As also highlighted during the previous meeting, further consideration will need to be given to the form/nature of a declaration of interest for these external experts. As a reminder, these were the two action items coming out of the meeting in relation to this topic: Action item #4: Form a small group consisting of leadership team and small number of CCWG members/participants that have experience in funding environment to make recommendation to how to cluster experts identified, proposal for calls, and review questions identified. Recommendation to be made in time for next CCWG meeting. Action item #5: CCWG members / participants interested in joining this small group to inform the leadership team of their interest. Note that objective is to deliver proposal to the CCWG in time for next CCWG meeting so it requires availability in the next two weeks to work on this. (Staff to circulate separate call for volunteers to the mailing list).

Julf Helsingius:Have learned to join early in case Adobe requires an update again... Julie Bisland:very good, Julf, yes, that's so helpful :) Erika Mann:Hi Ching! Judith Hellerstein:using the adobe connect separate application. very good and cuts down on problems Erika Mann:Sound good Julf Judith Hellerstein:HI Ching Ching Chiao:Hi Judith how are you ? Vanda Scartezini:hi all Wale Bakare:Hi all Vanda Scartezini:was not paying attention , working in a side meeting... Judith Hellerstein:Good thanks you. Nadira Al-Araj:Hi everyone Alan Greenberg:Sorry to be late. Marilyn Cade:sorry to be a few minutes late. Becky Burr:hello - we are working on feedback Erika Mann:Marilyn? Judith Hellerstein:We cannot hear her Julie Bisland:@Marilyn, we can't hear you Marilyn Cade:I am talking. Julie Bisland:yes, we can hear you now Judith Hellerstein:I hear you now Erika Mann:Yes, Sebastian Judith Hellerstein:Erika, If I understand it Finance has to put in a request to us Marika Konings:For those interested, you can find the public comment period referenced here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2… Joke Braeken:https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_… comments close today Erika Mann:Thank you Joke! Wale Bakare:I would like to slightly be in agreement with Judith. Let the Finance put it to the AP sub-group. But all the same, the AP sub-group can begin discussion on how much is needed to shore up the reserve fund Tony Harris:Apologies for being late (traffic) Marilyn Cade:My comments as only one of the BC participants was to note that the BC has submitted comments on reserve fund level. As to whether the BC supports the use of auction proceeds to contribute it is premature to comment on BC perspectives. We do have several BC participants/observers, and undoubtedly we will advance this discussion. I merely want to note that the BC has submitted comments on the ICANN Budget/PTI funding. Vanda Scartezini:yes, it is premature for now. Becky Burr:@Marilyn, we understand that there may be a variety of views across the community as to whether or not it is appropriate to use auction funds for the reserve. Marilyn Cade:thanks, Becky. I am assuming you are meaning that the Board understands... Marilyn Cade:I need to ask why we are cutting out the community activities and consensus building processes... Erika Mann:Not sure what you mean Marilyn? Marilyn Cade:I do not fully agree with Xavier on this topic, so I'd like to comment. Erika Mann:Marilyn? Marika Konings:@Marilyn - yes, you are correct on duplication of footnote. I will get that fixed. Tony Harris:I would support Marylin on this Marilyn Cade:But, really, Erika, that funding is not adequate to support such activities. Maureen Hilyard:I agree with Marilyn in that some of that projects that have been suggested in our list are not covered by ICANN and therefore need additional funds in order to proceed Maureen Hilyard:sone of the projects Ching Chiao:agree with Alan (and Marilyn) Judith Hellerstein:I agree with alan and marilyn Vanda Scartezini:yes, Alan , several activities are overlapping - Maureen Hilyard:I agree with Alan, that there shouldn't be overlap Judith Hellerstein:I agree with Jonathan Vanda Scartezini:+ 1 Jonathan Nadira Al-Araj:The overlap will exist to what I understood so far Maureen Hilyard:+1 Jonathan Marika Konings:I am happy to make the updates Jonathan Robinson:I am fine with Marika making the update Marilyn Cade::I don't think that Xavier's purpose was captured by just cutting this out. I prefer to reinstall it. Capturing Xavier's point can be captured differently. Becky Burr:I note, for example, that one of the scenarios contemplated development of better tools for remote participation, which certainly supports consensus building, etc. Vanda Scartezini:yes, MArilyn as Alan said and we agreed this is aready done and will be always overlapping on regular and topic activities Judith Hellerstein:@erika, yes that is exactly what we were thinking of by your sumary Marilyn Cade:we will work with Marika. Marika Konings:I already made the updates discussed, so I will attach it with the notes and action items for your review. Nadira Al-Araj:yes Marika Konings:Note that further details on examples, there is also the examples document :-) Marilyn Cade:but we have the examples document, and all of my comments were consistent with that, I think ... Judith Hellerstein:I think this bullet is also covered by the 3rd bullet--Create social & economic values.... Jonathan Robinson:I think the examples document is a good reference point. Judith Hellerstein:so am fine with deleting it as it is covered by the 3rf bullet and also by the examples Jonathan Robinson:Agree. The developemnt and use of the examples document will be very useful going forward. Ching Chiao:i think it's good -- as milestone documents after 10+ months of work of this WG :) Marika Konings:I understood it would go back in, but just with a footnote? Maureen Hilyard:I think we should leave it with Marika and the team to work on the document Marilyn Cade:thanks for this clarification, Erika and others. I really appreciate this. Marilyn Cade:When I started at ICANN, there were four staff, and no other services. Alan is quite correct that we have come a long way from having only 200M Internet users in 2000, to where we are today, and fortunately, ICANN is maturing along side the Internet. WHEW. Thanks to Alan fo yrour comments Marilyn Cade:I should have said, when Tony Harris, Stephan Deerhake, and Vanda started at ICANN... :-) Vanda Scartezini:yeah marilyn, long time ago... Marika Konings:See item 6 on the agenda Marilyn :-) Judith Hellerstein:WE have always done public sessions where every session is open Vanda Scartezini:yes Marilyn Cade:but we need to have a really good time slot, so that we get attendance from the GAC and all SOs/ACs... timing is everything. :-) I was part of the President's Strategy Working Group for three years, and I learned over and over that if we have a bad time slot, some groups can't attend.. so book early!!!! Marika Konings:Do you think it would be ripe for a cross-community discussion - deadline for submissions is 15 December. Maureen Hilyard:It is a global list and some people have to make concessions in order to participate.. these meetings are at 4am for me.. Marilyn Cade:Marika, there are a lot of other comments due on Dec 15, and also some are traveling to the IGF... Could we move the deadline to January 15? Any chance? Marilyn Cade: This doesn't seem to include some of the other suggestions made for "expertise".... also, if any of these are proposing that they would then submit proposals, they should be put in a sort of special category. Marika Konings:@Marilyn - no, I don't think so as the submission deadline for cross-community sessions was already extended, and it is needed to build out the rest of the schedule. Marika Konings:The document is also available here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… Marilyn Cade:I submitted some other suggestions -- such as World Bank, and interdevelopment development bank, but I note that none of them are noted. I also note that we have suggestions Marilyn Cade:that are recommended from only a few parties. I think we need to reconsider, as Tony is suggesting, to listen to . others Vanda Scartezini:yes, marilyn there are quite others even in the third world with less cost Marika Konings:@Marilyn - did you add those suggestions to the google doc? Marika Konings:Oh, I see now - the version on the screen did not take up the redline suggestions - let me try again or look at the google doc version Vanda Scartezini:the list is just a suggestion of alternatives John Levine:sorry, have to go Marilyn Cade:ah, ha, so many thanks, Marika. Marika Konings:Here is the full list of suggestions - sorry about that Marilyn Cade:Thanks, Marika. I have to be away for 5 minutes. will be back shortly. Maureen Hilyard:We also have to be mindful of developing regions like the Pacific for which there are very limited funding organisations that understand the region enough to provide appropriate support Maureen Hilyard:that would go for other similarly underserved regions Tony Harris:https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.or… Maureen Hilyard:Marika can the new document be made scrollable? Marika Konings:@Maureen - it should already be. It is not working for you? Maureen Hilyard:yes it is now.. my AC has been a little problematic this morning thank you Tony Harris:If you access the link I just sent, and scroll down to bottom you get the ful list of Development Agencies. BTW Alan is right and ICT4D was phased out some years ago, but IG and social business initiatives are on the radar of some of these Marilyn Cade:Thanks, Tony. Marilyn Cade:can you have Marika post this, and then we can comment on the list ? Also, again, I will suggest that we propose some questions/and I am happy to work with Alan and others... Vanda Scartezini:will do marika Marilyn Cade:on board with that two weeks, Marika... Marika Konings:As a reminder, up on the screen are the questions that have been identified to date. Vanda Scartezini:thanks marika Erika Mann:Understood Marilyn and Vanda! Vanda Scartezini:great. Saturday is normally easier than during the week Jonathan Robinson:I plan to arrive late Friday. Vanda Scartezini:or Sunday Judith Hellerstein:Can we do it on sunday? Marilyn Cade:Can you use a Doodle poll? that seems to be better option if possible. Jonathan Robinson:Doodle of CWG participants makes sense. Joke Braeken:Sunday is very difficult for the ccNSO as well, due to Working Groups being scheduled at that time Marilyn Cade:Support to a public session with CCWG -- we need to raise awareness, I think. Marilyn Cade:BUT please let's make sure is not on the day that the ccNSO Council meeting is, or that the GAC communique is being drafted. Marilyn Cade:Let's use the Doodle poll. Some of us are self funding our travel and extra days are very very very challenging, and once we start traveling, we can't be online when in the plane... Sebastien (ALAC):The meeting in Puerto Rico is from Saturday 10 to Thursday 15 of March Julf Helsingius:Thanks, Erika! Nadira Al-Araj:thank you Vanda Scartezini:nice day/evening to all Ching Chiao:Thanks everyone! Jonathan Robinson:Thank-you Erika & ICANN Staff Vanda Scartezini: thanks Judith Hellerstein:bye all

Notes & action items from today's meeting
by Marika Konings Nov. 30, 2017

Nov. 30, 2017

Dear All, Please find below the notes & action items from today’s meeting. Please take specific note of the action items as well as the updated version of the preamble that is attached for final review (for now). Best regards, Marika Notes & Action Items – new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Meeting on 30 November 2017 These high-level notes are designed to help the CCWG navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the transcript and/or recording. The MP3, transcript, and chat are provided separately and are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/x/DLHDAw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>. 1. Roll Call * Attendance will be taken from AC room * Please remember to state your name before speaking for transcription purposes and mute your microphones when not speaking. 2. Welcome a. Updates to DOI/SOIs b. Welcome to new Board Liaison (Maarten Botterman) - Maarten has now officially taken over the role of Board liaison from Asha. c. Update on information exchange with Board members (Cherine & Chris - Becky & Maarten) * Erika had two calls, one with Cherine and Chris and the other one with Becky & Maarten. Content largely the same: encouraging timely Board input/feedback on documents that are expected to be sent shortly (objectives, examples & preamble). Second topic related to reserve fund - when will the Board officially go to the SO/ACs to discuss the topic and at what time will CCWG be informed (any formal request is expected to go to SO/ACs). Updated Board on CCWG discussion in relation this topic. Final determination will depend on total amount of funds available, so discussion to a certain extend may be premature from a CCWG perspective. Note that public comment period is currently open on the topic of the reserve fund, a number of groups have already provided input and/or are actively discussion it. What is the process and timing for staff and Board to determine next steps in this regard? Consultation is ongoing (public comment period closing today) on appropriate level of the reserve fund. Responses will be considered by the Board Finance Committee, together with possible next steps. Board then to come back to the community with a plan for how to meet the target for the reserve fund. Use of some auction proceeds might be appropriate for that, as well as savings from operations. CCWG needs to keep in mind this discussion and consult with respective groups about views on use of funds (in the end, CCWG may take a position and/or set a process to allow for Board application for auction proceeds, take no position on this topic, or it may be dealt with outside of the CCWG if prior to completion of this work the Board / Community would agree on the use of a part of the auction proceeds to replenish the reserve fund). Budget authority is with the Board so a formal request to community and/or CCWG may be more a matter of courtesy than any kind of legal requirement. CCWG to further consider this topic at a future meeting. 3. Completion of Phase 2: a. Finalisation, for now, of review of examples & preamble (see latest versions attached) * See latest versions circulated * Concern regarding cutting out second bullet from last paragraph of preamble. There currently is already overlap, see for example special budget requests. Should 'support' be changed to read 'consistent with' so it is clear that it is not intended to be additional financial support for ICANN's community activities which are already supported by ICANN's operating budget. Consider further delineation in examples document to also include examples of community activities that are already supported by ICANN's budget. Include footnote that activities that are already covered by operational budget are not considered eligible for auction proceed fund allocation. * Note also duplication of footnote - fix for final version. * Example document - note latest version circulated. There will be further opportunities for review and input. Informally all CCWG members and participants can go back to their respective groups, formal opportunity will be publication of Initial Report (currently foreseen for publication shortly after ICANN61). CCWG can always decide to have additional formal opportunities for input as needed. Meeting publication deadline will require CCWG commitment and participation. Action item #1: Staff to fix duplication of footnote and reinstate second bullet but change 'support' to 'consistent with', as well as add footnote clarifying that community activities already supported by ICANN's operating budget would not be eligible for auction proceeds funding. Staff to circulate this version with the notes & action items to CCWG for final review. Objective to circulate final documents with ICANN Board shortly. [See updated version attached for review] b. Next steps Action item #2: Leadership team to submit documents (objectives, preamble and examples) to ICANN Board liaisons for Board input and consideration. 4. Phase 3 a. Review list of experts identified and discuss outreach & COI procedures b. Review questions identified to date (see latest version attached) c. Next steps * Review list of experts and make a selection based on a number of categories (e.g. large organization, small organization). * See if it would be possible to start with meetings with experts in December, for example starting with ICANN experts focusing on possible mechanism #1 and #2 and then follow with dedicated meetings for the other mechanisms in January. * Further need to review questions identified for each mechanism and build on those. Would it be worth forming a small team to take this on and move this forward? * Should national development agencies also be considered when identifying experts? May work for certain agencies but many may have a different focus. Should have an understanding of the field the CCWG is looking at as well as the magnitude of project. Action item #3: Add national development agencies to the list of possible experts (Completed) Action item #4: Form a small group consisting of leadership team and small number of CCWG members/participants that have experience in funding environment to make recommendation to how to cluster experts identified, proposal for calls, and review questions identified. Recommendation to be made in time for next CCWG meeting. Action item #5: CCWG members / participants interested in joining this small group to inform the leadership team of their interest. Note that objective is to deliver proposal to the CCWG in time for next CCWG meeting so it requires availability in the next two weeks to work on this. (Staff to circulate separate call for volunteers to the mailing list). 5. Phase 4/5 a. Is preliminary identification of frontrunner(s) possible without completing stage 3? b. If yes, could work on phase 5 commence in parallel, for example, by identifying responses for each charter question from the perspective of a particular mechanism (recognizing that certain details of that particular mechanism may not be known until input from experts has been received)? * Deferred to next meeting 6. Planning for ICANN61 * Consider having a 3 hour session on either Saturday or Sunday - will depend on CCWG member / participant availability. * Also consider having a public session later in the week to update the community and request input. Could consider a cross-community session, but may be too early. Leadership team to consider this further (cross-community vs. normal public session). Action item #6: Staff to circulate doodle poll to determine CCWG availability for either Saturday or Sunday afternoon for a possible F2F meeting. 7. Confirm next steps & next meeting (Thursday 14 December at 14.00 UTC) Marika Konings Vice President, Policy Development Support – GNSO, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org> Follow the GNSO via Twitter @ICANN_GNSO Find out more about the GNSO by taking our interactive courses<http://learn.icann.org/courses/gnso> and visiting the GNSO Newcomer pages<http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-…>.

notes and action items: today's call
by Joke Braeken Nov. 16, 2017

Nov. 16, 2017

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s CCWG meeting. You are kindly invited to take particular note of the action items and associated deadlines. Included in attachment: * Open internet definition (see Action items below) * Work plan (see Action items below) Best regards, Joke Braeken Notes & Action Items – new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Meeting on 16 November 2017 These high-level notes are designed to help the CCWG navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the transcript and/or recording. The MP3, transcript, and chat are provided separately and are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/x/DLHDAw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>. 1. Roll Call * Attendance will be taken from Adobe Connect * Please state your name before speaking and remember to mute your mics/computers when not speaking 2. Welcome / DOI * Please remember to keep your DOI/SOI up to date 3. Completing Stage 2 a. Review updated examples document Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zQ66hCxrboAJPKeuU6nHwzHQwmU6g_3kS0JUSSC… * identify projects, and state whether they are within ICANN's mission. The idea was not to discuss the individual projects, but this list is a basis to collect ideas, on what would be covered by ICANN's mission statement * co-chair Erika mentioned that guidance is needed on nr. 8 and nr. 12 from this list. Moreover, items 19 to 22 are newly added, and have not been discussed yet by the full group. Comments & discussion: * Point 8 * Seems to be agreement that this is not within the mission * No support for this. We should focus on policy, not on creating new business * There is no strong support for this point number 8, so why should it end up in the same category as point 12? * This point should be eliminated * Point 12 * unclear whether this is within the mission or not * we should not be too narrow in our understanding of the mission statement * inappropriate use of the funds, smells too much like marketing * Marketing new gTLDs is up to the new gTLDs, this would be outside of our scope. * ICANN engaging in marketing, would be negatively viewed. A legal investigation is needed, whether this is within scope. Are we violating ICANN’s integrity? * No support to promote branding, but awareness raising regarding names is important. Information sharing as such would be fine. * The AGB used it as an example for the use of those funds, so why would it not be within ICANN’s mission? “grants to support new gTLD applications" is contained in the Applicant Guidebook as a potential use of auction proceeds -- again let's not look at the specific merits of an example, but whether the category might be ok * suggestion regarding point 8 and point 12: create 2 categories: those that are within the mission mandate, those that are not (but are nonetheless useful to the general objectives of this project). Do not delete point 8 and 12 for the moment, but keep them in a separate list. keep the “grey areas” as examples at the very end of the document. * Projects typically have a business plan. Other organisations are doing social work, supporting social development. Do not discard projects, simply because of the risk or the financial implications. Many private sector organisations are doing work that is good for the internet in general. * Agreement that point 8 and 12 are more “out” than “in” the mission, but there are certain questions raised which are worth keeping in mind. * These are just examples, not concrete projects. Action item #1: staff to adjust the document, putting example (8 and) 12 at the very end of the list. Document and link to the google doc to be re-sent to the group by staff. The group is invited to review the document again, ahead of the next meeting in 2 weeks’ time. * Point 22: * Suggested is to take this example out. It is related to the reserved fund. This is not a concrete project. If one day we receive a formal request from the Board, we will have to debate it between the CCWG and SO/ACs and the ICANN Board. * BC has submitted a supporting comment. Supports the idea for this to be supported by the auction funds. The Business Constituency believes that item 22 should be supported. * By taking item 22 out, we are not saying this is going to be supported or not. This is a pre-decision, ahead of the establishment of any foundation, ahead of any concrete project. * did the BC discuss this point about the reserve funds, in relation to the excess litigation reserve? (This question was not answered and parked to a later moment) * Double-dipping. By taking it out of this list, we do not prevent it from being considered through some other mechanism * Explore the possibility of topping the ICANN reserve funds, and when ICANN Org has the resources, the money can go back to bucket of auction proceeds. * Suggestion to discuss this when we receive the formal request from the Board * Point 15: group members are kindly invited to update the google document. (see action item #1) b. Open and Interoperable Internet description Overview of the changes made to the document, since Abu Dhabi, including: * clarification that the auction proceeds are from the new gTLD programme * clarify that we talk about ICANN's mission statement * last segment: to be specified about which CCWG we are talking about Comments and discussion: * this groups should not be providing guidelines for applicants. our scope is limited to guidance on the allocation of funds. * what needs to be aligned with ICANN's mission, are the projects. The applications itself cannot do so, nor the applicants. Suggested is to rephrase the beginning, and also the last paragraph. * This document guides the evaluator, when they face projects that are questionable, they have some guidance, but they should not be considered as guidelines. * Terminology and meaning regarding guidance/guidelines. Those words do not translate easily. By offering guidance, you offer ideas that can guide the decision. This was what the group tried to achieve. We should not over interpret what we say. This document will be subject to public comment. * further work may be needed based on input that may be received from others at a later stage in the process. Action item #2: staff is to re-send the draft definition to the group. The group is invited to review the document one more time, and to submit final comments ahead of the next meeting. The aim is to finalise the document by the next call. c. Discuss next steps The leadership team needs to informally consult with the Board and the legal team. The definition document is to be sent to them after our next call. The group can continue the discussion based on their feedback. 4. Stage 3: review and refine questions for experts Action item #3: The group is asked to review the questions, to determine whether these accurately convey points made. Is the list of questions complete? Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lilXNBowHooDiR1AyxF9ckA8ZRO1Gphx9rQLBZc… * different mechanisms have been sketched out and discussed in Abu Dhabi * Advice needed from the group. What is the ideal scenario/mechanism? * We need to determine which questions are either for the CCWG, which ones are for ICANN, or for external experts. Comments and discussion: * when to ask external advice? it would be good to have a clear preference from the group regarding the preferred option. The group needs to narrow down the choice, and then ask for advice from external parties * what about the arrangement for conflicts of interest, when experts are engaged? * Sam Eisner from ICANN legal confirmed that the point regarding the Conflict of Interest is indeed important. We need to make sure that experts that come in, have not yet been contacted by those that intend to apply for funds. We might expect to receive an NDA later from the experts, however we should conduct a higher-level information gathering exercise as a first step, with the experts. * Perhaps better to present all mechanisms to the experts, to avoid we are narrowed down in our own line of thinking. Action item #4: The leadership team will submit a proposal for a way forward to this group, regarding the approach for the involvement of experts, and the timeline. 5. Review and discuss updated work plan * phase 2 to be finalised at next call, ideally. * Phase 3: list of experts. https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/CCWG+Expertise * Regarding the completion of the work by this group, the work plan foresees the draft document to be ready before ICANN61 in Puerto Rico. * Currently we have only one call scheduled with the experts, in December. This might not be sufficient. Potentially further calls needed. * Questions raised by co-chair Erika: * should we have a longer call with the experts? * should we have weekly calls? * do you agree to finalise the work by Puerto Rico? The group agreed to work on the basis of the current work plan. The work plan is to be reviewed again by the leadership team, based on the discussion regarding the experts. In case adjustments are needed to the work plan, an updated work plan will be sent for discussion with and approval by the CCWG. 6.

Will you be needing a dial out today? Erika Mann:Can we check the mike Julie? Sylvia Cadena:I can hear you typing Erika, so your mike should be fine ;) Erika Mann:Sylvia - hi ... your're great! Julie Bisland:@Erika: lets do another sound check , please Erika Mann:Okay, ready! Kavouss Arasteh 3:Dear All, Kavouss Arasteh 3:I will quit at 15,00 UTC Joke Braeken:thanks for letting us know Kavouss Jonathan Robinson:I am in an airport lounge so am likely to keep audio comments to a minimum Sylvia Cadena:No updates from me. Nadira AL-Araj:Hi Kavouss, you have 3 sessions connected to the room, That might cause some problems at your end. Julf Helsingius:My SOI has of course changed as a result of my new position in the GNSO council, but it doesn't change my conflict of issue situation Ching Chiao:Thanks for let us know, Julf Alan Greenberg:URL for the doc? Marilyn Cade:I am not in support of creating products, as that is not within ICANN's core mission. Joke Braeken:hi Alan, the document was previously circulated by Marika Sylvia Cadena:Can staffmove the screen to example 12? the scroll does not let me do it Alan Greenberg:SCrolling rights please Joke Braeken:the document is now scrollable Marilyn Cade:I do not think that we should be promoting gTLDs. Marilyn Cade:We should focus on the core mission. Vanda Scartezini:I was at phone tilla dobe allowed me to connect. sorry Sylvia Cadena:I do not agree to support example 12 Erika Mann:Marilynn! Erika Mann:Marilyn, I come back to you in a second. Marilyn Cade:I hope I will now be able to speak. judith hellerstein:I agree with Alan on this issue judith hellerstein:on number 8 Maureen Hilyard:+1 Alan re 8 and 12 Julf Helsingius:I agree with the out of scope / marketing comments judith hellerstein:I also agree with Alan on 12 and do not support either of them Julf Helsingius:I don't agree with excluding something just because of business / financial risk Marilyn Cade:We are not about creating new business creation. The ccNSO might want to think that also promoting their visibiity is important. enoss:[sorry for being late] +1 re: 12; with 8, if it is work being done by a respected non-profit org Jon Nevett:whether it is worthwhile, is irrelevant -- the isssue is whether it is within the mission related to the DNS. 8 is out, but an education campaign maybe contemplated in 12 should be ok Alan Greenberg:@Julf, I added that as an aside. I di not think 8 is anywhere near our mission. Julf Helsingius:Alan: I agree Ching Chiao:<question> For "8", can we say that the CCWG will not support any commercial businesses / activities i.e. fund goes only to non-for-profit use enoss:are we discussing only these two right now or others as well? judith hellerstein:I think just these 2 right now Julf Helsingius:isn't promoting domains and names "supporting commercial businesses / activities"? Ching Chiao:Hi Elliott, just 8 and 12 for now Sylvia Cadena:I think we are discussing the ones that got comments on the file about "not being supported" and the others were considered consistent judith hellerstein:I have a question on 15 but will wait until we get there Jon Nevett:"grants to support new gTLD applications" is contained in the Applicant Guidebook as a potential use of auction proceeds -- again let's not look at the specific merits of an example, but whether the categorsy might be ok Julie Bisland:please mute your line when not speaking enoss:@ching +1 Jon Nevett:For the record, I don't agree Erika Vanda Scartezini:in other words may be... Julf Helsingius:No, I was just agreeing Marilyn Cade:We are not agreeing. we can park for later discussion. I do not support doing marketing for gTLDs. Vanda Scartezini:Jon I beleive this campaign shall be supprot by ICANN itself enoss:but then so are a near unlimited number of things enoss:I think it is implied that this list has some relationship to the type/category of projects we view as appropriate Erika Mann:Julf - can you hear us? Julf Helsingius:I was simply agreeing Hadia Elminiawi:hello all, sorry for joining late Sylvia Cadena:I am ok with not support example 8 in particular, but I do not agree with the idea to exclude projects that have a sustainability plan which might imply commercial use. enoss:both sylvia and I had a qualifier to 8 enoss:that made it ok I thought Jon Nevett:The example is awareness not marketing -- or let's change the example to make it clear Nadira AL-Araj:In fact, I suggested to keep those suggested project examples and list them in a new category as an example how they don't match ICANN mission. judith hellerstein:Hi Jon, Awareness is a better term than marketing Maureen Hilyard:I agree with Marilyn about the marketing intent within #12 being unacceptable Alan Greenberg:I had a strong objection to 8 and I thought I heard the same from others. judith hellerstein:I am against marketing but if they are going to revise the question to frame it as an awareness I am willing to take another look at it Joke Braeken:As a reminder, it is not the objective to cover every possible project that could be considered consistent with ICANN's mission. The focus is on ensuring that examples are sufficiently clear to provide guidance on what types of projects are considered consistent with ICANN's mission and which ones are not considered consistent. Vanda Scartezini:Judith Yes. that is my point. have general awereness is quite important for developing regions, but promoting new rounds for instance is for ICANN directly to support not this auction Joke Braeken:As a reminder, it is not the objective to cover every possible project that could be considered consistent with ICANN's mission. The focus is on ensuring that examples are sufficiently clear to provide guidance on what types of projects are considered consistent with ICANN's mission and which ones are not considered consistent. Vanda Scartezini:+ 1 Joke. I have sent an email regarding this point.. Marilyn Cade:No, I need to speak on this. Marilyn Cade:on point 22. enoss:I agree judith hellerstein:I agree with you on example 22 Erika Mann:Marilyn Sylvia Cadena:I agree with Erika. I do not think the reserve replenishment should be listed as an example Maureen Hilyard:Yes we hear you Marilyn Sylvia Cadena:Yes, but it will not be a project that the community will submit. It will a board request, so it should not be on this list Sylvia Cadena:Exactly. It is not a project. judith hellerstein:I am against double dipping judith hellerstein:I agree it is not a project Marilyn Cade:I can not agree, the community could strongly support this. Sylvia Cadena:A project will have a beginning and an end. A project will require ICANN to report back how it has manage its funds Marilyn Cade:can someone describe what double dipping is? I have a long history of legal engagement, so perhaps someone can describe their view of double dipping, from a legal perspective? Maureen Hilyard:We are keeping this list specifically to projects, so #22 can be deleted from the list although not totally from our other discussions Vanda Scartezini:agree with Erika. we need the demand first Sylvia Cadena:Exactly Maureen. That is the idea. Jon Nevett:I agree that we delete 22 as an example, but not delete the concept Marilyn Cade:perhaps Ellot can contact me off line? Joke Braeken:Here is the link to the public comment period regarding the reserved fund: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann… Julie Bisland:Kavouss, your audio is muffled Vanda Scartezini:thanks Joke Joke Braeken:Kavouss, we cannot hear you Erika Mann:Marilyn - I will let Elliot know Elliot Noss:still in adobe Elliot Noss:yes thanks Kavouss Arasteh 3:Delete it from the list but maintain the objective Marilyn Cade:I am available at marilynscade(a)hotmail.com<mailto:marilynscade@hotmail.com> or 1 202 360 1196. Joke Braeken:will do so Erika judith hellerstein:So are we discussing 20? judith hellerstein:I have a question on 15 Kavouss Arasteh 3:I am sure if we need to retain 15 Elliot Noss:[staff please note, I am trying to switch to phone and have been on hold (a second try) for a while (> 5 min now)] Julie Bisland:I'll alert the operator Kavouss Arasteh 3:I am NOT sure why 15 should be maintained Marilyn Cade:I so nor auppoer 21. and 20 needs further clarification. Right now, I do not support. 19 needs more clarification but seems promisioning. Elliot Noss:on now Elliot Noss:(phone only for me) Julie Bisland:great, thanks Elliot, sorry for your hold time Sylvia Cadena:It is qualified where it says "areas of common interest" anyway. It will not be WC3 in full Joke Braeken:Link to the google document: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… Hadia Elminiawi:Sorry back again Jonathan Robinson:I am not expecting to discuss the document Sylvia Cadena:We can all add our comments to the document as suggestions and continue to structure our comments. There were a few instructions between the 2 tables (page 3) with the 3 numbers that we needed to provide forqualify each example. It is a good exercise to analyze the examples with those 3 numbers. Jonathan Robinson:I am on the hook to give it a final proof-read / edit Sylvia Cadena:scrolling rights please Joke Braeken:the document is now scrollable. Sylvia Cadena:thanks Jonathan Robinson:No thnak you judith hellerstein:OK I made changes to the Google Doc for #15 Erika Mann:Thank you Judith! Jonathan Robinson:Good point Marilyn. Overarching guidance not strict guidelines Sylvia Cadena:Just for the sake of language use, I will say that the application will certainly include the project proposal, which is quite different from the actual project itself. Most times there are differences from proposal to implementation. Nadira AL-Araj:+1 Marilyn, yes, the guidance are just to provide the concept to be considered. Sylvia Cadena:Agree with Alan. Jonathan Robinson:Yes, but we do not want to water it down so much as to be pointless. Marilyn Cade:maybe ideas and suggestions to guide... ? judith hellerstein:I have also add comments to 19 and 20 on the google doc Marilyn Cade:Yes, to Jonathan. Jonathan Robinson:This has been crafted to provide and overarching guidance for the selection of projects Sylvia Cadena:Thanks to the group that worked on this. Marilyn Cade:With apologies. I will need to abandon you, for another call that starts at 10 a.m. My deep apologies. but I think tht we are making good progress!!!! Julie Bisland:Thank you, Marilyn Mary Uduma:+1 Erika Mann:Thank you Joke Sylvia Cadena:No sound Vanda Scartezini:not hearing Mary Erika Mann:Mary! Mary Uduma:It seems you cannot hear me Julie Bisland:Mary, we aren't able to hear you, please let me know if you'd like a dialout judith hellerstein:yes mary we cannot hear you Vanda Scartezini:no Sylvia Cadena:Not me Mary Uduma:I post my idea then Nadira AL-Araj:No we don't hear Mary Mary Uduma:Yes I will post Joke Braeken:thanks for putting your question in the chat Mary. could you please lower your hand? Maureen Hilyard:Sorry my Adobe Connect crashed for a while so this is a bit late- but from my take of what Hadia said it was not so much about our intent to provide guidance or guidelines but focusing the purpose of this group on the allocation of funds (rather than on applications)Sorry my Adobe Connect crashed for a while so this is a bit late- but from my take of what Hadia said it was not so much about our intent to provide guidance or guidelines but focusing the purpose of this group on the allocation of funds (rather than on applications) Maureen Hilyard:my AC is really playing up at the moment, sorry Mary Uduma:I just wanted to support the context with which the paragraph we were debating on. since the Chair gave a good summary. I will comment on the Google doc when recirculated. judith hellerstein:@maureen, please file this issue on the TTF Adome connect page, https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di… Joke Braeken:the google document can be found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… judith hellerstein:We are working on having a separate form created for people to file their issues Jonathan Robinson:Apologies. I have to leave now. judith hellerstein:bye Jonathan Marilyn Cade:I must drop off, but I do only support an external mechanism, as otherwise we will have a very conflictual situation within ICANN. I was not able to meet during the first session, so my views are not included. We have to be careful tthat wee even have full engagement from the designated members and participants. I have not been able to fully contribute. apologies to drop off but we can't do this, Erika, unless we have a dedicated call on this. Marilyn Cade:I ask that we postpone this untile we have a call that is very focused just on this topic. Marilyn Cade:I have to drop off now, as does also Jonathan. Marilyn Cade:I will do online comments. Erika Mann:Understood Marilyn! Thank you! Sylvia Cadena:Many of external experts might request an NDA. They might mot discuss operational procedures with such a large group. Vanda Scartezini:@sylvia. agree experts need to have no conflict enoss:[back in adobe] Joke Braeken:absolutely, will do so. I will clean up the live notes after the call judith hellerstein:Seems like a good idea Sylvia Cadena:Agree. Sylvia Cadena:Not screaming ;) Mary Uduma:No screaming: Joke Braeken:it is scrollable Sylvia Cadena:pge 4 Sylvia Cadena:page 4 Joke Braeken:will do so. Joke Braeken:the expertise-related information on the Wiki : https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di… enoss:no comment. that would be a fine accomplishment Maureen Hilyard:No just agreeing judith hellerstein:yes that is a good idea Sylvia Cadena:It will be great to be able to get this done ahead of ICANN 61. Just not sure if Christmas period will allow for weekly calls judith hellerstein:@sylvia, calls are bi-weekly judith hellerstein:twice a month Nadira AL-Araj:Thank you judith hellerstein:bye all enoss:bye all and thanks Erika Mann:Thanks everyone Sylvia Cadena:There was a suggestion of weekly calls with the experts Maarten Botterman:thanks!

Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] [Ext] Re: Notes & action items from today's meetings and latest draft of open and interoperable Internet description
by Marika Konings Nov. 16, 2017

Nov. 16, 2017

Marilyn, the following example is already included in the document: 5 year grants to support the development of NGOs and Internet Governance forums in 100 locations at local, national, regional and global level increases participation at ICANN processes by 35%. Does that sufficiently align with what you are proposing? As a reminder, it is not the objective to cover every possible project that could be considered consistent with ICANN’s mission. The focus is on ensuring that examples are sufficiently clear to provide guidance on what types of projects are considered consistent with ICANN’s mission and which ones are not considered consistent.

Almost all of the NRIs from developing countries and most from the developed countries have ICANN related sessions, ranging from IPv6, to DNS to engagement of stakeholders in ICANN related topics.
