Sarah Berg - ICANN contractor
by Marika Konings Feb. 24, 2017

Feb. 24, 2017

Dear All, As noted in the Charter development phase, the work of the CCWG and the ultimate recommendations will carry important legal and financial implications for ICANN as an organization and also upon the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the ICANN Board Members and ICANN Officers. There are also practical aspects to the CCWG’s anticipated recommendations, such as understanding basic tenets and practices of the grant-making and philanthropic giving space. In preparing to support this CCWG, ICANN recognized that this is not a core skill or knowledge base within the ICANN organization Therefore, to prepare ICANN to understand this space, ICANN has contracted with a resource with a lot of experience on the grant-making/philanthropic giving side. This resource will be available, as necessary, to provide the ICANN organization and Board answers, guidance, and research on these topics. Sarah Berg<https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-berg-cfp%C2%AE-24b9203> is the Principal of Ponsonby Partners in Washington D.C.- a consultancy firm providing philanthropic advisement and strategic planning to high net-worth clients, nonprofits, and foundations. A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) from Georgetown, Sarah spent 8 years working for Keel Point LLC wealth management advisory company for individuals and families. In her role as Wealth Advisor and subsequently Senior Wealth Advisor, Sarah was responsible for strategy and execution of financial decisions for multinational, multigenerational ultra-high net worth families ($100m+). This included managing direct investments, international businesses, private equity, traditional investing, commercial and residential real estate, tax and estate structuring, risk management, impact investing, philanthropic administration, and family governance. Sarah has had experience creating multiple non-profits both domestically in the U.S. and internationally. She is well versed in grant processes and California rules and regulations in regards to non-profits and has experience serving on not-for-profit Boards. Her focus at Keel Point allowed her to represent clients and work with stakeholders primarily in Asia, Africa, and Europe- so she is used to working across varying cultures and timezones. While Sarah has been contracted to provide the ICANN organization with support, we wanted to update the CCWG and offer that she be added to the CCWG’s list of Experts as a potential additional expertise resource. The CCWG can explore if it would like to avail of her expertise on specific topics. ICANN’s contracting with Sarah to provide inputs internally is not intended to replace any other expertise or resources that the CCWG has identified, but as an additional potential avenue for input alongside others. To facilitate the CCWG’s consideration of reference of questions to/inputs from Sarah, we will request that Sarah fills out the expertise survey so that the CCWG can have more insight on where her expertise lies. Best regards, Marika Marika Konings Senior Policy Director & Team Leader for the 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-…>.

Vanda Scartezini:hi Erika, nice to see you here hadia elminiawi:Hello all Marc Gauw:Hi everyone from a very 'stormy' Amsterdam Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA):Ah, just force 10... Vanda Scartezini:Beautiful sun shining in this summer here in Sao Paulo Marc Gauw:growing to 12 in the next hours....brrr Vanda Scartezini:hi Asha Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA):I will be listen/typing only, as I caught a nasty flu in Iceland, and have no voice... Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA):Marc: KLM has been cancelling flights out of Amsterdam.. Manal Ismail:Hello everyone .. Asha Hemrajani:Hello Vanda! Alice Munyua:Hello everyone de LA CHAPELLE:Hi everyone, sorry I could not join the previous calls. Marc Gauw:Yes, thats the good news Julf, they fly normally above my house :-) Vanda Scartezini:hi Alice Olga Cavalli:Hello all!! good morning from Buenos Aires Jonathan Robinson:Hello All. We will commence shortly. Alberto Soto:Hello all! hadia elminiawi:good evening from egypt Nadira ALARAJ:Hello everyone Jonathan Robinson:Please be reminded that meetings are for Members & Participants only. Observers are welcome to change status to Participant but will need to complete DOI and SOI in order to do so. Dietmar Stefitz:Hi Everyone ! Erika Mann:Hi, hi ... no one is talking? Jonathan Robinson:Please check your mic is on mute. Vanda Scartezini:thank you Alan Ching Chiao:thank Alan Mathieu Weill, ccNSO:Hello everyone Marika Konings:Formal call is expected to go out shortly Glenn:on mute Erika Mann:Jonathan, Marika - a short summary would be good Vanda Scartezini:+ 1 Erika Olga Cavalli:+1 Erika Alice Munyua:Agree on some of the key areas we will require expert input hadia elminiawi:when we start the actual work - we shall be able ti dentify where we fall short elliot noss:+1 hadia matthew shears:+ 1 also Erika Mann:Agree with Nadia Olga Cavalli:+1 Hadia Alice Munyua:The survey while not objective suggest that we will need expert inout in some key areas. We need to determine at what point this will be required Alice Munyua:Are the gaps not clear enough from the survey? Marika Konings:as noted, some external experts were identified that are not part of this assessment, so some of the gaps may be filled by those external experts identified? Xavier:and Xavier is on the call. Vanda Scartezini:good to have legal and financial from ICANN Staff Alice Munyua:Thanks Marika. Marika Konings:See https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… for the external experts identified to date. Erika Mann:Jonathan - indeed it's good to have Sam next time. My point was to have Xavier as well for another exchange about finance and audit. Vanda Scartezini:Xavier is grear to help us with a specific knowledge on "how"and "why not"and alternatives in some suggestions Ching Chiao:please note that Marika circulated a memo / note prepared by Xavier (Note May 2015). This would help us understand a lot better about legal and fudiciary constraints. Vanda Scartezini:grear= great matthew shears:agree with Mathieu - in addition to which costs for experts can escalate quickly Vanda Scartezini:Thnaks Ching I may miss it Mathieu Weill, ccNSO:I don't think there's any avenue that is a "dead alley". And I agree with Alan experts can show us what is possible Jonathan Robinson:Please note. No current budget for external expertise. If you do think funds will be required to support this group we need to make it know. Asha Hemrajani:Agree with Alan's point about the "gotchas" Nadira ALARAJ:The document is a great compilation of different legal constraints elliot noss:it would be quite practical to use her for an hour presentation Jon Nevett:Any expenses we incur should come out of the Auction Proceeds fund and not general operating expenses. We could do that right away out of the interest the funds are earning or as a payback to ICANN at a later time.. hadia elminiawi:+1 elliot Mathieu Weill, ccNSO:Regarding budget requests, we could start by asking ICANN (Xavier) whether a specific ICANN project is currently active or considered in the Ops Plan ? elliot noss:-1 jon Alice Munyua:+1 Elliot Vanda Scartezini:I alsoa gree with Elliot elliot noss:given the breadth of things funded, if we need expertise we should get it. I am not terribly in favour of much outside expertise and would not be in favour of asking for budget now Marika Konings:@Mathieu - I believe the answer is no (not beyond the staff support and services that are currently provided) elliot noss:I DISAGREED with it elliot noss:-1 not +1 elliot noss:but a noble effort jon! :-) Jon Nevett:i think we agree and he doesn't realize it! elliot noss:haha. maybe! Alan Greenberg:My question should not be taken as presuming we need funding, I just wanted clarity so we were all on the same page. Vanda Scartezini:@ alan that was what i understood too- not waste money that can be used in a better program / project Becky Burr:Jon - re your comment that costs for experts should come out of the auction proceeds, keep in mind that the auction proceeds are completely segregated and unavailable for funding anything until the community has developed and the Board has adopted a community developed policy for distributing the funds. Becky Burr:The policy may recommend using auction proceeds to replenish ICANN funds in the amount spent by the CCWG on experts, for example, but this can't be done in advance of the policy Jon Nevett:Becky: Understood, but there is precedent for repaying historical costs. It could be done, but ok if ICANN doesn't want to. Asha Hemrajani:+1 Becky Jon, I think the focus should be on, as Jonathan has already pointed out, figure out what is the funds required to support the group and work with Xavier to Asha Hemrajani:see what can be done Becky Burr:definitely could be done consistent with the policy elliot noss:love the idea jonathan Asha Hemrajani:@Jon first the group should figure out what is needed Becky Burr:when do we discuss the goals and purpose for which auction proceeds should be dispersed? matthew shears:yes, perhaps reordering as per daniel and then a fast pass elliot noss:yes and the survey Erika Mann:I like this recommended approach Becky Burr:I do like the first pass approach Nadira ALARAJ:Daniel cluster is very smart way of doing things in two parallel tracks Vanda Scartezini:yes. debte the goals to achieve Jon Nevett:The point is that folks on the CCWG should know that what we spend likely will come out of the auction funds and we should be very prudent in what we spend (or ask to spend). Mathieu Weill, ccNSO:I support the reordering, and concur with Becky that discussion the overall purpose is key. Becky Burr:Can we add a question about goals/purpose? Dietmar Stefitz:Good approach! Clear and fast matthew shears:yes, Becky's question is rather important! Vanda Scartezini:Yes Becky must be added Mathieu Weill, ccNSO:Until we've clarified goal / purpose, most questions can't be settled Asha Hemrajani:Yes we ought to add something about the overarching goals Asha Hemrajani:Exactly Mathieu Erika Mann:We should discuss goals in a broader sense, we should at least be able to exclude what should not receive funding Dietmar Stefitz:+1 Manal Ismail:JOnathan your voice was breaking sorry of you already asked me to take the floor .. Vanda Scartezini:goasl like - project that focus on all regions ... elliot noss:I would suggest that goals should be preceded by survey. this is ICANN. we have all been through these things. we could discuss goals for months! :-) Erika Mann:Jonathan, we might want to review the principles we definded in the Charter Vanda Scartezini:yes Elliot, a survey will be a good start point Marika Konings:One survey question could also be what additional questions need to be answered by the CCWG (not only sub-questions) which could cover the overarching question on goal / purpose? Vanda Scartezini:could be Marika. will get all issues we are debating here Manal Ismail:My question was wether we should add to this first question the word 'allocation' along with selection/ranking .. Erika Mann:That's a good way connecting the key questions to subquestions. Then we can answer these questions and should be able to add new questions if needed. Manal Ismail:ok thanks Jonathan for the clarification hadia elminiawi:clustering seems good to me too, however we need to all have the same understanding of what falls under each questions to make educated decisions Jon Nevett:The four questions -- why is this fund different from all other funds? Nadira ALARAJ:It will be an anticipated need assessment but might not give good indication Ching Chiao:sounds good ! Jon Nevett:sorry -- that was a bad joke Ching Chiao::) Marc Gauw:Jon: it is bigger :-) Ching Chiao:can name the survey like ... first-round brain dump Nadira ALARAJ:+1 Ching Erika Mann:Marika +1 Daniel Dardailler:I'm not sure I understand how many F2F are planned til the end of the year ? Just one at ICANN60 ? Becky Burr:(I thought it was funny Jon N.) Erika Mann:We should work with reasonable time constraints Marika Konings:No F2F meetings are planned in the draft work plan Vanda Scartezini:push too much not the best solution Alan Greenberg:As did I Jon! Just had not seen it in a timely manner. Dietmar Stefitz:As for time, if we have a general specific meeting, we can advance a lot faster. 3 days including esperts,e tc. Marika Konings:ICANN59 is expected to be policy focused, so not sure if this qualifies as policy? Nadira ALARAJ:If this initial survey to be combined with group expertise in mind Daniel Dardailler:ok Nadira ALARAJ:It makes the responses better judith hellerstein:so does that mean there will not be a room reserved for a meeting Marika Konings:I don't know if space will be made available for non policy meetings, but we can confirm closing to the date of the meeting. Vanda Scartezini:i do believe be or not policy is not relevant for use the opportunity to meet F2F Marie-Noemie Marques:Do we know when we can meet in Copenhagen ? Dietmar Stefitz:I think it's on 15th of march at 15.00 hours Daniel Dardailler:so whenever a subset of the group meets f2f, there will be a teleconf with the rest of the group at the same time ? Alan Greenberg:MArika, if this is worthy of our time, it should not be put on hold due to the name of the meeting! Marika Konings:Details of the Copenhagen meeting can be found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__schedule.icann.org_eve… Marika Konings:@Alan - it will be up to the chartering organizations. The SO/ACs will decide on the priorities for the meeting, so if this is one of the topics that is a priority, I'm sure it will get on the schedule :-) Marika Konings:but there are only 4 days, so tough choices will need to be made Alan Greenberg:Marika, we are saying the same thing! Erika Mann:Thank you as well Marika Konings:@Daniel - remote participation will be available for the meeting in Copenhagen (Adobe connect & phone) Vanda Scartezini:very productive meeting Tks hadia elminiawi:Thank you all Alice Munyua:Thank you Marc Gauw:Thanks all !

Notes and action items - CCWG Auction Proceeds
by Marika Konings Feb. 23, 2017

Feb. 23, 2017

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting. Best regards, Marika Notes - 23 February 2017 CCWG Auction Proceeds These high-level notes are designed to help PDP WG members 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[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>. 1. Roll Call / SOI-DOI Updates · Attendance will be taken via Adobe Connect room · Please remember to mute your microphone and state your name before speaking for transcription purposes 2. Welcome · SOI/DOIs have been completed by all - thank you for that · Please remember that you are required to communicate any updates to your SOI / DOI to the CCWG and update the documents accordingly · ALAC has now also appointed members to the CCWG which makes the appointments by chartering organizations complete · GNSO expected to appoint a new co-chair shortly, ideally by Copenhagen at the latest. Formal call is expected to go out shortly. There may be a need to accomodate for a handover to the new co-chair . · Currently CCWG meeting at a fixed time - a couple of CCWG members/participants have indicated that the current timing is problematic. Leadership team to review CCWG composition and see what options are available for a rotation post-Copenhagen. 3. Review of CCWG assessment of skills & expertise (see https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-KHBHBXH3/[surveymonkey.com]) · Objective of the survey was to assess the skills and expertise available within / to the CCWG · The survey is self-identification / self-certification · Current results seem to indicate that there is at least 1 expert in most of the categories identified. · Based on this assessment, CCWG can identify what expertise, if any, is missing and should be planned for going forward. · Will be judgement call for CCWG when it is needed to bring this in. · Rolling program of input might be a way to benefit from the expertise that is available and educate the CCWG. · Need for expertise may also be identified as part of the deliberations, including as part of the fast pass through the charter questions. · Next week's presentation will address legal and fiduciary constraints, which has been identified as one of the areas for which a briefing is needed upfront. Idem on ICANN's mission. · CCWG could be asked to review the areas for which expertise is limited and identify potential external experts that could complement those areas. · Some external experts were identified that are not part of this assessment, so some of the gaps may be filled by those external experts identified. See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QtwFa9nCIMq8JYCtBHxAyQraWQ6M-iNNP4Kyq6q…. · Need to distinguish between phase on requirements for which consensus will need to be found within the CCWG - experts are not expected to give definite views here but may provide examples / benchmarks. Once agreed on requirements, that is where external experts may be needed to provide topical input. CCWG needs to determine when and for what purpose. · No current budget for external expertise. CCWG will need to consider whether aditional funds/resources are needed beyond staff support that is currently provided. Also note that not every external expert input may come at a cost - some of the external experts have indicated that they are willing to provide input on specific questions / items at no cost. Action item #1: CCWG members and participants to review results of survey and provide any feedback based on their review 4. Review initial draft of work plan as well as template for discussing charter questions. · See draft work plan circulated · Draft proposes systematic way of going through the charter questions. CCWG to determine whether to tackle the charter questions in a more thematic way. See also suggestion by Daniel on email to reorder questions. · Consider going through all the charter questions at a high level using the template questions, possibly in the form of a survey to obtain CCWG input to help inform the discussions. · Proposal to undertake a quick pass through all the questions, using a survey, reordering them in the way suggested and then follow with a deep dive on each of those. · Need to also consider overarching goals and purpose. Also important to review the principles outlined in the charter. · Also consider asking which additional questions, not only sub-questions, need to be addressed. · Charter questions to be built into a survey for each of which the 4 template questions will be asked (gating, external expertise, sub-questions, initial responses). For example, a gating question could be whether or not the allocation of these funds should be managed by ICANN or whether this should be done externally as answer will determine approach for other questions. · Work plan will need to be updated to reflect results of survey and approach that will be taken based on the results. CCWG to consider whether to set a certain time based goal or whether it just takes the time to get it done. Action item #2: Staff to develop survey on charter questions as outlined for completion by CCWG. 5.

Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Sarah Berg - ICANN contractor
by Vanda Scartezini Feb. 22, 2017

Feb. 22, 2017

Dear Marika, colleagues. In my opinion this is a great News. As someone working with foundations, not for profit organizations and the way money can be expending around the world and the difficulties to correctly make funds to arrive at the correct place and be correctly used, I believe this help will be of good value for our group and for the implementation phase. Welcome to Sarah and hope we can meet in Copenhagen! Kisses Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados Av. Paulista 1159, cj 1004 01311-200- Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Land Line: +55 11 3266.6253 Mobile: + 55 11 98181.1464 Sorry for any typos. HAPPY 2017! From: <ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of 'Marika Konings' <marika.konings(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 10:05 AM To: "ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org" <ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Sarah Berg - ICANN contractor Dear All, As noted in the Charter development phase, the work of the CCWG and the ultimate recommendations will carry important legal and financial implications for ICANN as an organization and also upon the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the ICANN Board Members and ICANN Officers. There are also practical aspects to the CCWG’s anticipated recommendations, such as understanding basic tenets and practices of the grant-making and philanthropic giving space. In preparing to support this CCWG, ICANN recognized that this is not a core skill or knowledge base within the ICANN organization Therefore, to prepare ICANN to understand this space, ICANN has contracted with a resource with a lot of experience on the grant-making/philanthropic giving side. This resource will be available, as necessary, to provide the ICANN organization and Board answers, guidance, and research on these topics. Sarah Berg<https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-berg-cfp%C2%AE-24b9203> is the Principal of Ponsonby Partners in Washington D.C.- a consultancy firm providing philanthropic advisement and strategic planning to high net-worth clients, nonprofits, and foundations. A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) from Georgetown, Sarah spent 8 years working for Keel Point LLC wealth management advisory company for individuals and families. In her role as Wealth Advisor and subsequently Senior Wealth Advisor, Sarah was responsible for strategy and execution of financial decisions for multinational, multigenerational ultra-high net worth families ($100m+). This included managing direct investments, international businesses, private equity, traditional investing, commercial and residential real estate, tax and estate structuring, risk management, impact investing, philanthropic administration, and family governance. Sarah has had experience creating multiple non-profits both domestically in the U.S. and internationally. She is well versed in grant processes and California rules and regulations in regards to non-profits and has experience serving on not-for-profit Boards. Her focus at Keel Point allowed her to represent clients and work with stakeholders primarily in Asia, Africa, and Europe- so she is used to working across varying cultures and timezones. While Sarah has been contracted to provide the ICANN organization with support, we wanted to update the CCWG and offer that she be added to the CCWG’s list of Experts as a potential additional expertise resource. The CCWG can explore if it would like to avail of her expertise on specific topics. ICANN’s contracting with Sarah to provide inputs internally is not intended to replace any other expertise or resources that the CCWG has identified, but as an additional potential avenue for input alongside others. To facilitate the CCWG’s consideration of reference of questions to/inputs from Sarah, we will request that Sarah fills out the expertise survey so that the CCWG can have more insight on where her expertise lies.

Ahmed Bakht:Thanks Michelle, probably still 30 minutes left for the meeting Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:hi michelle can I test my mic and see if it works? Michelle DeSmyter:Hi there Olga - yes, one mometn Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:sure Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:I can hear you can you hear me? Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:perfect thanks! Marika Konings:@Olga, no we cannot hear you Marika Konings:Have you joined by telephone or via Adobe Connect? Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:adobe but I have a mic which does not work, will change computers no worries Michelle DeSmyter:sounds good Michelle DeSmyter:please let me know if you need a dial out from the operator, we can certainly do that as well Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina:thanks will try with the other computer Julf Helsingius:Good afternoon. Sounds like someone has mic on... Ahmed Bakht Masood:Hi every one Asha Hemrajani:Good evening Becky Burr:Hello all Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:someone is typing.... Evan Leibovitch:yes Dietmar Stefitz:Hi to all Michael Flemming:Is there sound? Mei Lin Fung:I could not access the charter questions - CCWG input on charter questions – see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume… Michael Flemming:Volume very low elliot noss:australia 5 numbers, UK 5 numbers, france 3 numbers, canada 0. the 51st state! Julf Helsingius:volume fine here Michael Flemming:My volume was low. Michael Flemming:Sorry Marika Konings:@Mei - the document was also circulated in Word format, so please feel free to add your input to that version. Asha Hemrajani:I cannot hear anything Evan Leibovitch:audio fine here Julf Helsingius:fine here too Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:audio ok here Asha Hemrajani:Ok audio back for me Manal Ismail:Can't hear anything, is it only me? Michelle DeSmyter:Manal, I will private message you Tony Harris:Meetings should not coincide with GNSO Council Meetinga Stephanie Perrin:+1 Tony John Levine:People in Copenhagen will talk about this whether or not there is an official meeting. John Levine:So we might as well get a room with microphones so people can tell what we're talking about. Waudo:Can we coincide the (copenhagen) f2f with te=he normal fortnightly meeting - if there is remote facilities available John Levine:Yes, there was a doogle poll Marika Konings:The poll is available here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__icannorg.beta.doodle.c… ) Evan Leibovitch:But let's not kid ourselves.... regardless of whether the meetings at ICANN events are official or social, Evan Leibovitch:those who cannot be there are compromised. Marika Konings:please note that for any official meetings, remote participation facilities are available. Evan Leibovitch:For the social events too? Marika Konings:and as always, any notes / action items will be communicated on the mailing list allowing for everyone to weigh in (similar to when someone may miss a 'normal' meeting) Marika Konings:@Evan - unless someone who is at the bar dials you in and buys you a remote drink, I'm afraid not ;-) Julf Helsingius:We do need that internet remote drink protocol Marika Konings:As the ICANN meeting in Johannesburg is the policy forum and only 4 days, it may not be possible to schedule a meeting for this CCWG, but it will depend on the priorities that SO/ACs identify for that meeting. Waudo:is there budget for external expertise? vanda:sorry delay, problems with internet. ready now I hope Waudo:can teh presentatio be done remotely? Marika Konings:@Waudo - the idea is that the CCWG would identify what resources, if any, are needed as part of the development of the work plan so it can then be determined what funds may be needed (and whether those can be found in the current budget allocation or whether a specific request needs to be made) matthew shears:Given experience in CCWG Accountability its essential to be absolutely clear about what we want from external advisors - otherwise costs mount rapidly matthew shears:has there been any attempt to identify best practices out there - examples we may be able to look to? matthew shears:apologies if this has already been done elliot noss:+1 to that jonathan Nadira ALARAJ:@elliot, does the ccTLD experince documented? elliot noss:.ca! elliot noss:forgotten not only with toll-frees, but also with cc experience :-) Nadira ALARAJ:Aha thanks Samantha Eisner:Thanks Elliot. With the revisions made to the Mission through the CCWG-Accountability, we now have a bit of a different way that we discuss the mission. We can look at the CCWG-Accountability materials and see if there is some helpful language in there to help frame the mission constraints as the group is kicking off and before a fuller conversation elliot noss:and I just referenced it! haha elliot noss:@samantha, thanks. interesting note Alan Greenberg:I have no idea of magnitude of ccTLD activities in this area, but suspect it might be 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller, at least on an annual or multi-year basis. elliot noss:@alan, it is. you are correct Tony Harris:One essential consideration is how the funded inititiatives are to be evaluated Marika Konings:The presentations provided by some ccTLDs during a previous workshop can be found here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_… Marika Konings:I will also post these on the WG wiki Ahmed Bakht Masood:Thanks Marika Nadira ALARAJ:Thanks Marika elliot noss:handling costs? I would love to hear more Alan Greenberg:@Tony, yes, evaluation is a very critical component. Necessary and yet must not end up being a major use of the funds. Tony Harris:The European Commission had a funding round 11 years ago known as @lis and that might serve as a matrix Nadira ALARAJ:That would good to invite expertise to the group on topic basis Julf Helsingius:Erika Mann has experience with the Gates Foundation, I think. My experience with them is indirect. Mei Lin Fung:+1 Alan Greenberg Becky Burr:There are folks who know how to do this on a "one shot" basis. The broadband initiative at the beginning of the Obama administration as part of the economic recovery act is a good example. Becky Burr:The woman who ran that grant program has now retired but would likely be willing to share her experience Evan Leibovitch:I have direct experience with the World Bank's acting as an evaluaton mechanism to implement funding program criteria on behalf of foundations. Nasrat Khalid:My mic seems to be having issues. Apologies about that. Mei Lin Fung:Thank you Marika Alan Greenberg:To put this in perspective, the Gates foundation has assets in the order of $37b and annually gives out several billion. Nasrat Khalid:I just wanted to know if we have looked in to the development sector. The likes of the World Bank (My employer) but smaller scale organisations do work in the development sector that disburse such amount of funds on a regular basis. Evan Leibovitch:Nasrat, the WB (maybe different sections) has engaged in this themselves. Waudo:it seems a thin line between working on teh "mechanism"and considering the actual recipients Asha Hemrajani:Perhaps best to look for external experts/advice first from sectors or organizations who are doling out funds in the same ballpark as our fund (~$200 to $300 million) Alan Greenberg:@Asha, yes, and preferably in technology area. Asha Hemrajani:Yes couldn't agree more Alan Becky Burr:I beg to differ. ICANN's Mission is enumerated, and anything not enumaterated is outside the Mission Asha Hemrajani:+1 Becky elliot noss:could anyone who knows who is speaking from phone not chat please put a 1-line statement in chat? elliot noss:ie. "speaking is fred flintstone from the gates foundation" Julf Helsingius:I agree with Becky Marika Konings:@Elliot - speaking before was Mark Grauw from .NL Marika Konings:sorry, Marc Gauw elliot noss:@marika thanks! on cell it can be tough sometimes and when they are not on adobe connect we can't look on our own Mei Lin Fung:+1 agree with Jonathan's proposal that if CC's want to engage, they send a participant Dietmar Stefitz:+1 Marika Konings:so far everyone that has responded to the poll has indicated that they are able to participate in person or remotely Marika Konings:yes, correct, that is foreseen :-) Alan Greenberg:Hopefully Sam is available on 2nd March. Marika Konings:To activate your microphone, please click the telephone sign at the top of the AC pod Mei Lin Fung:mic not working Marika Konings:or if we can get you a dial-out, please let us know. Mei Lin Fung:I will post my comment in chat here Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:agrree with Alan! Stephanie Perrin:+ 1 Alan. Peter Vergote (ccNSO):+1 Alan Mei Lin Fung:I'm with the People Centered Internet and vice chair for Internet inclusion at IEEE - in addition to the auction proceeds, may we consider tracking mechanisms to understand if the money has achieved the outcomes desired? T use the internet in being a model for competent use of funds for the purpose agreed to - and to phase fund outlays based on achievements in prior phases Mei Lin Fung:This could be a great contribution by being a model for tracking in Internet time, and getting input from those who are supposed to be the beneficiaries by video and crowdsource feedback matthew shears:+ 1 - typically those seeking fundng and successfu have toi account for how they used those funds Julf Helsingius:I echo Mei Lin Fungs concern about tracking and following up on results Mei Lin Fung:We want to go beyond typical - we are ICANN - we made possible the Internet - should we not steward the use of the Internet for all? Asha Hemrajani:All please note that we we have not budgeted for f2f meetings for this group at all in FY18 budget matthew shears:that unfortunate Marika Konings:Special budget requests are due by Friday - but these need to come from an SO/AC Dietmar Stefitz:I can set you up a Samll Conference like this for a ver Low Cost ! Stephanie Perrin:Governments have lots of experience in metrics regarding dispersal of funds. There are best practice models available; we should use them. Jon Nevett:Should a f2f of this group be funded from FY18 budget or from the auction proceeds? Mei Lin Fung:The Singapore Government Investment Corp has highly effective tracking Asha Hemrajani:Indeed Mei Lin :-) Dietmar Stefitz:These fudns can even come from teh Auction proceeds by itself, as did teh fees for other things Marika Konings:Maybe the CCWG should first need to consider its timeline and expected milestones to determine whether a F2F is even needed to deliber on those. Note that most ICANN WGs do all their work through weekly / bi-weekly meetings. Alan Greenberg:I think that is a discussion we could have, and have quickly. It would be good to hav from staff what the costs of a F@F meeting would be. Mei Lin Fung:Jonathan - can you read out my input from the chat above? Marika Konings:There is no external deadline which has been the reason why some other initiatives have had F2F meetings outside of an ICANN meeting Mei Lin Fung:Due to my problem with mic Mei Lin Fung:I wish to raise the point that this group consider effective tracking Asha Hemrajani:Sebastien is correct, budget requests can be made but these need to come from an SO/AC Alan Greenberg:ASha OR through the Public Comment process. Ahmed Bakht Masood:@ Marika: My mic is also not working. What are the time lines for auction Dietmar Stefitz:I agree with Sebastian ! Ahmed Bakht Masood:+1 Marika Konings:@Ahmed - there is no deadline. Marika Konings:It is up to the CCWG to set its schedule Ahmed Bakht Masood:Ok thanks Mei Lin Fung:Thank you Jonathan for appropriately representing the point I raised Dietmar Stefitz:I think there si no Problem, to get teh money out of the fund Marika Konings:ball park figure is 100,000 $ I believe Dietmar Stefitz:that's a real good figure Marika Marika Konings:but obvously it all depends on location, attendees, # of days, etc. Xavier Calvez:Correct Mariak. Based on the CCWG Accountability experience. Dietmar Stefitz:Low Cost flights for all! Becky Burr:But the point of this group is to develop recommendations about how to use the auction proceeds for consideration by SO/ACs Becky Burr:don't really think we have authority to actually cause the funds to be spent, for example, on f2f meetings Stephanie Perrin:+1 Becky Ahmed Bakht Masood:To reduce travel cost, F2F meetings can be done in conjuction with ICANN meetings, two / three days before or earlier Mei Lin Fung:Thank you Jonathan Peter Vergote (ccNSO):Agree to that Becky. We should focus on workplan and milestones first! Mei Lin Fung:for your good service as Co-chair and running this meeting Olga Cavalli - GAC Argentina 2:Thanks Jonathan!! Nadira ALARAJ:+1 for Becky's Xavier Calvez:But it needs to be determined yet whether funding of travel to participants of this group is provided. elliot noss:thanks. bye all Nadira ALARAJ:Thank you Dietmar Stefitz:Thank you Jonathan bverd (RSSAC):thank you Julf Helsingius:thanks Ahmed Bakht Masood:Bye all Peter Vergote (ccNSO):Txs everyone. CU later
