June 27, 2018

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting. As a reminder: Action item #1: CCWG review the mechanism summary descriptions<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/84220195/CCWG.AP%20Mechani…> and identify any further questions they may have to relay to Sarah by 9 July 2018. Action Item #2: Staff will re-open the Google document https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Kbjnnflt0h5ZVkP57s2nP0trJyQCcuTfdWjzbg…. CCWG members are requested to review the proposed responses and provide input to questions identified by 9 July 2018. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 12 July at 14.00 UTC. Best regards, Marika ============= New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Meeting – 27 June 2018 (ICANN62 – Panama) 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/display/CWGONGAP/2018+Meetings. 1. Roll Call * Roll Call will be taken from Adobe Connect * Please remember to state your name for transcription purposes and don't forget to mute your line / microphone when not speaking to avoid interruption. 2. Welcome & SOI/DOI updates * Reminder - please check your SOI/DOIs and make sure these are up to date * Tony Harris: Stepping down as a member and continuing as a participant, and Marilyn Cade will join as a member from the Commercial Stakeholder Group (GNSO). 3. Status Update: Reminder of the purpose of this WG (see slides 5 through 14) * Process for development for auction proceeds allocation (slide 9) – you have the full communication channels with the Board, which is very helpful, to avoid issues at the end. * CCWG-AP Work Plan (slide 10): Now in Phase 5 -- Answer Charter Questions as Organized by Phase 1 for Mechanism(s) Determined in Phase 4. * Determine whether there is a preference for a mechanism or mechanisms, perhaps via a poll. * Four possible mechanisms for further consideration (slide 11): * How to participate (slide 14) – newsletters, join as a member, or as an observer. Also provide input in the public forum when the report is published. * Timeline: Goal is to release a draft report three weeks before ICANN63 (October 2018), and there will be a requirement for a public comment period of at least 40 days. * Publication is dependent on the number and type of comments in the public comment period. 4. Board Liaison Update/Discussion in the Board * Noted in the four models that none of them were preferred, so didn’t talk about the models. Differences were not clear to everyone. * Funds should be allocated in tranches. * Evaluation: two separate functions – administrative/criteria fulfillment – could be inside or outside ICANN, but it should be neutral and cost effective; content evaluation/qualitative analysis should be an independent panel that is neutral, with no conflicts of interest. * Not clear whether the Board signs off on proposals and note that the selection should not be second-guessed by the Board. Just that the process has been carried out properly. * Should be a step in there for a review to see that the process is meeting expectations. * There should be reports that provide feedback, at least on an annual basis, as well as a status report on the funding disbursement. There is a charter question about whether a review mechanism should be put in place and there is a Google doc to help develop suggestions. 5. Review of mechanism descriptions developed by Sarah Berg, Ponsonby Partners, ICANN Contracted Advisor on Strategic Development and Philanthropic Programs Sarah Berg, Ponsonby Partners (See summary descriptions<https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/2018-06-27+-+ICANN62+Panama+-+…> proposed: https://community.icann.org/x/IxkFBQ) Mechanism 1: Internal ICANN Department Mechanism 2: ICANN+ External Organization Mechanism 3: ICANN Foundation Mechanism 4: External Entity Questions/Discussion: * If in house it would be separate from the rest of ICANN Org. * Mechanisms 2 – ICANN could work with a couple of different organizations. * Question: Even considering that is short term department to be create, the compared cost still minimal considering people need to be dismissed after 2-3 years for instance? Answer: If you had a sunset period you could hire a team that would exist as long as you wanted to have this running. * Question: Would a foundation have to be US-based? Answer: Given that ICANN is a US entity it would probably be a US entity, but that would be ICANN’s decision. * Question: What would be the liability? Answer: It would be the same as for a 501c3. But if you are talking about a foundation it has its own legal liability and Board/fiduciary requirements. * Question: Is the separate board requirement applicable for all types of 501c3 entities or are there exceptions? Answer: The separate board requirement only applies to mechanism 3. * Question: Do the tax filing requirements have any limits on eligibility? Answer: When you are a listed on which tax filing it doesn’t matter that all potential grant funders need to adhere to ICANN’s mission. * Question: In comparing mechanism 1 and 2, is there a benefit to not have grant activity listed ICANN’s annual tax filings with the US government? Would ICANN be better protected by having the DAF reporting for grant activity in its tax filling? Answer: That depends on ICANN and who the recipients are. * Question re: the ability for ICANN to apply for funds: Do any of the models restrict that? Answer: With Mechanism 3 – the foundation – ICANN could not decide to allocate some of the funds to its own use (such as the reserve fund). Include this question as part of the gap analysis. Action item #1: CCWG review summary descriptions and identify any further questions they may have to relay to Sarah by 9 July 2018. 6. Review of proposed responses to remaining charter questions (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Kbjnnflt0h5ZVkP57s2nP0trJyQCcuTfdWjzbg… [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…>) * Background: Charter questions need to be answered for each of the mechanisms (slide 18). Still quite a few open issues. Cannot move forward without input. * Meeting the timeline requires input from the WG. Action Item #2: Staff will re-open the Google document https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Kbjnnflt0h5ZVkP57s2nP0trJyQCcuTfdWjzbg…. CCWG members are requested to review the proposed responses and provide input to questions identified by 9 July 2019. 7. Review of work plan and next steps (see slide 24 of presentation) * The goal is to have the draft report three weeks ahead of ICANN63. * Propose meetings every two weeks, but may increase to weekly if necessary to meet the goal. * May have some flexibility with publication date. * Should there be time in the schedule for WG members to take the Google doc back to their members for consideration? * There is time built in for another poll on the mechanisms. 8.

For your review - draft responses to remaining charter questions
by Marika Konings June 16, 2018

June 16, 2018

Dear All, The leadership team has worked on a first draft response to the remaining charter questions, reviewing information from the charter question templates that were developed at an earlier stage of our work (see https://community.icann.org/x/PNrRAw) as well as the input provided by external experts (see https://community.icann.org/x/BSW8B) Some specific issues/questions for CCWG consideration have been highlighted in yellow, but of course, input is sought on all aspects of the proposed responses. Please review this document and provide any comments and/or questions you may have in the google doc by Saturday 23 June at the latest. This will allow the leadership team to review your feedback and prepare accordingly for the CCWG session which will take place on Wednesday 27 June from 15.15 – 16.45 local time (see https://62.schedule.icann.org/meetings/699541) For remote participation details, please see https://community.icann.org/x/6QQFBQ.

Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Notes and action items - new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting of 31 May 2018

Hi everyone, Apologies for not being able to participate in the last call but traveling schedules have not allowed me to join the call, as I wish I had being able to do. I just wanted to say that I fully support all the action items as agreed below. I am not sure how advanced Erika and Ching are going with the draft answers to the charter questions, but I just wanted to say that I think that there are quite a few responses from other charter questions that we did through surveys before, that although were not done in light of the proposed options for a mechanism, could be used to fill in the cells on that table and that it will be really appreciated that a note for cross reference is made, so that is clear from where those responses came from, to make use of the contributions from this group and the thinking behind them. I look forward to the calendar information about the next meeting as well as the details to join remotely -if possible- to those meeting in Panama.

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 · Roll Call will be taken from Adobe Connect · Please remember to state your name for transcription purposes and don't forget to mute your line / microphone when not speaking to avoid interruption. · Audio only: Xavier Calvez (only first part of the meeting), Kavouss Arasteh 2. Welcome & SOI/DOI updates · Reminder - please check your SOI/DOIs and make sure these are up to date 3. Next steps for addressing charter questions · See email circulated by Erika earlier today · See template that was circulated to facilitate developing a response to the remaining charter questions. Leadership is offering to develop a first draft response to the charter questions for CCWG review, if possible prior to ICANN62. · See letter from the ICANN Board providing input on the mechanisms discussion. Board is of the view that there should be various tranches of funding so that the mechanism chosen can be closely monitored and adjustments, if needed, can be made. Mechanisms chosen should focus on effective and efficient disbursement. More information will be needed on relevant costs of the different mechanisms. Should be able to evaluate and monitor projects on a global basis. More work needed on ensuring a common understanding and providing additional definition of the mechanisms in advance of public comment. · Board letter seems to suggest that CCWG should not rush for public comment. · Any direct costs like communication, etc. should all be funded out of the proceeds or would some of these come out of ICANN's general budget? Board has not actually discussed that yet - cost for evaluating, managing, running the program would need to come out of the funding. Discreet items such as a communications plan in advance has not been discussed in particular, but could be considered inclusive of overall running of the program. Cost associated with a communication plan should be factored in. Measuring efficiency of funds need to take into account holistic viewpoint of costs that are associated with setting up / running a mechanism. CCWG may need to map out the different cost elements to get a better idea and track key areas of costs to determine how these would be funded. Need to look at costs from a standalone perspective. ICANN's ongoing funding is not set up to take care of this - all costs are expected to come out of auction proceeds. Once implementation starts, this is expected to come out of auction proceeds funding. · Further input on expected / max overhead costs may also be needed. Board previously mentioned a 5% threshold. Is there flexibility there to ensure efficiency / effectiveness balance? What is reasonable and what is cost effective, depends on the circumstances and the nature of the grants that are being made. % was never intended to be a hard / fast line. % needs to be reasonable in light of the objectives of the program. Focus should be on the use for proceeds in furtherance of the mission instead of administrative costs. Could ask in work on general description to provide an indication if overhead costs would be closer to 3 or 10 %, for example. · Need to also evaluate mechanisms according to the defined principles mentioned in the Board letter. Factor this into the draft response to charter questions. · Need to further consider how feasible tranching is as it will depend on size of fund allocation, similar would need to further discuss what mechanisms would need to be put in place that would warrant changes / corrections. Board is committed to the notion that funds would be allocated over a period of time to be able to ensure in earlier stages that proper controls are in place to monitor and manage applications and evaluations. Board has not yet considered possible size of fund allocation to projects. Objectives of fund allocation determined by the community would hopefully further clarity / guide that conversation. Intersection between size of projects and costs of overhead. · One of the factors that will significantly impact costs, which is not usually considered in any standard percentage, is the cost inherent to supporting a multistakeholder process: whether it is to organize some community communication on the overall process of the auction proceeds, or to support transparency and accountability mechanisms, these activities are rarely encountered elsewhere but are prevalent at ICANN and are very resource consuming. That will significantly impact the costs incurred for the program. If you take an illustration that the Drafting Team early on and now this CCWG AP have been working on the topic for 2 years, with ICANN's support, the costs is already significant and we have not even started implementing anything. · CCWG could consider whether certain amounts are allocated to baskets to focus on certain types of projects, including different sizes. CCWG to re-evaluate if that is a recommendation it would like to made. · The topic of tranches is one of the operational consequence of the board's fiduciary duty that the funds are used within mission and effectively: releasing funds in tranches to a given recipient allows to establish accountability mechanisms for that recipient to demonstrate that the funds are appropriately used. The other tranche topic is, as an example, to provide X million of dollars for allocation during a given year, which also allows to control the amount of effort required for evaluation and disbursement, allowing to minimize risks of errors or issues. · As a reminder, Sarah Berg has been asked to assist with developing a general description of each of these mechanisms. Action item #1: CCWG leadership to work on first draft of responses to charter questions, factoring in board input as well as discussion during today's meeting (31/5). To be circulated at the latest by 18 June to allow for sufficient time for CCWG to review. Action item #2: CCWG to consider developing list of cost elements to get a better idea and track key areas of costs and determine how these would be funded (from auction proceeds or differently). 4. Planning for ICANN62 · See email sent by Erika proposing to delay HIT session to ICANN63 and have a F2F meeting instead which would include an update to the community. In addition, leadership team is available to come and speak to / present to those groups that are interested. CCWG could consider other mechanisms to provide updates to the community for example in the form of a webinar. Regular newsletters are already provided to ensure that chartering organizations have regular status updates. Action item #3: CCWG to move forward with the changes that have been proposed (postpone HIT session to ICANN63 and change it to a F2F meeting instead. 5. Finalisation of preamble & reminder to review project examples by Monday 4 June at 18:00 UTC · No further input received on the preamble so that document should be considered final for inclusion in the Initial Report. Action item #4: reminder, CCWG to review project examples by Monday 4 June at 18.00 UTC at the latest. 6. Next steps & confirm next meeting (Thursday 7 or 14 June at 14:00 UTC) · Next meeting to be scheduled for 14 June at 14.00 UTC.

Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] [Ext] Re: [Ntfy-ccwg-auctionproceeds] Canceled: CANCELLED-CCWG New gTLD Auction Proceeds

Marilyn, your message may not have gone to the mailing list as it was sent to the ntfy list instead, so I am hereby reposting. One question I do have for you is what you expect with regards to community engagement? Compared to the previous meeting, there have not been any major new developments and/or draft recommendations that seem to warrant community consultation / engagement, as such, the idea was to provide a status update (what has happened between ICANN61 and ICANN62), outline expected next steps and identify when the next engagement opportunities are expected. Is there something that is missing from this update from your perspective? Best regards, Marika From: Marilyn Cade <marilynscade(a)hotmail.com> Date: Tuesday, June 12, 2018 at 06:27 To: ICANN Policy Calendar <PolicyCalendar(a)icann.org>, "ntfy-ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org" <ntfy-ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org>, Marika Konings <marika.konings(a)icann.org>, Joke Braeken <joke.braeken(a)icann.org>, Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org>, Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org>, Michelle DeSmyter <michelle.desmyter(a)icann.org>, Andrea Glandon <andrea.glandon(a)icann.org>, Terri Agnew <terri.agnew(a)icann.org>, Julie Bisland <julie.bisland(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [Ntfy-ccwg-auctionproceeds] Canceled: CANCELLED-CCWG New gTLD Auction Proceeds While I appreciate that the leadership team is seeking more time, this puts the participants at a disadvantage as not all will be able to attend ICANN62 in person, and we really need to prepare for engaging with the ICANN community while we are in Panama. Just saying that there can be casual 15 minute updates from the co chairs is not really an effective approach to engagement with the community. I know we all know that. So, what to do? Let me propose that CCWG-AP hold a meeting on Monday or Tuesday, and all of us will do our best but to have at least a discussion BEFORE ICANN62. I am sure all of us will do our best to shift things around so that we can have a working session BEFORE ICANN62. ________________________________ From: ICANN Policy Calendar <PolicyCalendar(a)icann.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2018 8:21 AM To: ntfy-ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org; Marika Konings; Joke Braeken; Emily Barabas; Nathalie Peregrine; Michelle DeSmyter; Andrea Glandon; Terri Agnew; Julie Bisland Subject: [Ntfy-ccwg-auctionproceeds] Canceled: CANCELLED-CCWG New gTLD Auction Proceeds When: Thursday, June 14, 2018 10:00 AM-11:30 AM.

ICANN62: GNSO Sessions How to Get Organized and Remote Participation Details
by Nathalie Peregrine June 6, 2018

June 6, 2018

Dear all, The one-stop wiki page for all your Remote Participation queries is now available. This wiki page covers remote participation details for all GNSO open and public meetings. In addition to this, ICANN meetings’ team has put together an updated ICANN meeting website which allows you to download all GNSO-related meetings to your inbox calendar in one go. 2 LINKS TO BOOKMARK NOW: ICANN62 Meeting Schedule<https://62.schedule.icann.org/> GNSO Remote Participation wiki page<https://community.icann.org/x/6QQFBQ> Step 1 – Create a profile and your personalized ICANN62 schedule Go to the Meeting Schedule webpage and create a profile and login. Every session on the schedule can be selected and added to your individual schedule by clicking the Add box to the bottom right of each meeting, this adds it to your individual schedule which you can then email to yourself or add to your calendar. See next step. Step 2 - There are two ways to import your schedule into Outlook: once you’ve added all your chosen meetings to “My Schedule” go to Export. 1. Importing creates a one-time snapshot of your schedule and copies it into Outlook. If you subsequently make changes to your Pathable calendar, they will not be reflected in Outlook. 2. Subscribing creates a live feed of your schedule in Outlook. Outlook checks for changes every few hours and updates your calendar appropriately. * For Outlook calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/81449-moving-your-schedu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> * For Google calendars: http://support.pathable.com/knowledgebase/articles/1313-moving-your-schedul…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__support.pathable.com_kn…> Step 3 All Adobe Connect rooms (which can be found on the session information on the Meeting Schedule<https://62.schedule.icann.org/> and on the GNSO Remote Participation wiki page<https://community.icann.org/x/6QQFBQ>) will provide audio streaming only Adobe Connect room microphones will not be enabled.
