(see) Action item #6: CCWG members to flag to their respective groups now that this slot is the likely time for a presentation of the Initial Report so that groups can factor this into their scheduling (Monday from 13.30 - 15.00) Best regards, Marika ================ Notes & Action items – new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Meeting – 16 August 2018 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 * Please remember to mute your microphones when not speaking and state your name before speaking for transcription purposes. 2. Welcome & SOI/DOI updates * Please remember to check your SOI/DOIs on a regular basis and update as needed 3. Review of responses to questions received: * Few calls left before drafting on recommendations will start * Objective to come to a hierarchy in the mechanisms, ideally eliminating two lowest ranked mechanisms following this meeting. ICANN Org (Samantha Eisner & Xavier Calvez): * See responses shared with the group prior to today's meeting * Re. governance, important that right mechanisms are in place and expertise needed is available. * Number of questions in relation to impact on the Board's workload - Board does not wish to individual decisions on individual projects. Role will have a general oversight role - receiving reports, briefing, addressing risks appropriately. Same type of oversight that ICANN provides over other projects at ICANN Org. * Any ICANN structure should adequately support the objectives set. Currently there are 60 departments within ICANN. Presumed that one way or the other a separate department may be needed to isolated the resources identified and needed. There may be existing resources that would dedicate part of their time or they may be additional resources - would need to be evaluated at the time of implementation as expertise may already be available. Leverage as much as possible existing services and functions to minimize the additional costs occurred, as for example was done for new gTLDs and PTI. * If an auction proceed department setup within ICANN, would it potentially trigger any change of ICANN's bylaw? No reason why that would be the case. Sarah Berg, ICANN Contracted Advisor on Strategic Development and Philanthropic Program * See response from Sarah shared on the mailing list * Responses identified a number of themes and provided thematic responses * Goals & objectives drive strategy which in its turn will drive some of the specific decisions * Number of specific examples and caste studies are provided * Difference between Board and Corporate governance * Examples of human right assessments * COI principles and examples * Oversight and how this looks in practice for other organizations * Protocols for grant agreements and grant sizes * Input on start up costs Action item #1: CCWG to review responses received to questions by ICANN Org as well as Sarah Berg and share any follow up and/or clarifying questions with the mailing list. CCWG * See summary document shared with the mailing list by Emily which includes a proposed response to the different questions which aims to reflects the input that has been received from the CCWG. Action item #2: CCWG to review summary document and proposed responses developed by staff. Any comments / feedback to be shared with the mailing list as soon as possible. 4. Impact of sanctions on fund allocation – update by Samantha Eisner * See slides shared during meeting and presented by Sam * See https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=69272128&preview=/… * Recommend not to base any recommendations on getting an exemption as it is extremely difficult and costly * Would it be helpful to reference in the report a list of countries that would be prevented from applying as a result of sanctions? * The CCWG should define guidance that leads to avoiding complexity and exception type of evaluation requirements, which would be complex, costly and risky for ICANN as a whole. Action item #3: CCWG to review slides and share any questions with the mailing list. Action item #4: Staff to share document with Sylvia Cadena who specifically had some questions/comments about this issue 5. Proposed next steps to develop draft recommendations / responses to charter questions & development of Initial Report * See slide shared with proposed next steps * Based on today’s discussion and input received, CCWG to consider whether one or more mechanisms can be deprioritized from full consideration in Initial Report. Aim to reach preliminary agreement. There appears to be strong support for first two mechanisms, but lesser so for mechanisms #3 and #4 - could those latter two be eliminated for detailed consideration in the Initial Report? Possible approach: leave option 4 possibly completely out and only describe option 3, but not answer charter questions in detail. Preliminary agreement to be confirmed through a simple ranking survey – all members and interested participants to rank 4 mechanisms in order of preference based on input received and criteria established, in view of deprioritizing bottom two mechanisms for purposes of the Initial Report. All four mechanisms will be described, but only top two will be fully detailed and highlighted as preferred mechanisms in Initial Report. To be presented as preliminary recommendation based on the best current thinking of the CCWG as well as priorities and objectives of the different Cos, but a formal consensus call will only be conducted prior to Final Report. Leadership team to develop draft responses to charter questions for CCWG consideration based on deliberations to date as well as input received from external experts. Leadership team to develop draft Initial Report for CCWG consideration. Following CCWG review, publish Initial Report for public comment. Action item #5: CCWG to review these proposed next steps and provide its input as soon as possible. 6. Upcoming meetings: proposed schedule & timing * See remaining steps and proposed timeline shared * 16 August August 2018 (CCWG meeting) - Review input received on questions sent to Org, Sarah Berg and CCWG; Consider what mechanism(s) should be deprioritized for the Initial Report based on input received; Launch poll to determine ranking of mechanisms in view of prioritizing mechanism(s) for which a full response to the charter questions is to be provided in the Initial Report. * 27 August 2018- Deadline for survey responses * 30 August 2018 (CCWG meeting) - Review survey responses and confirm next steps for publication of Initial Report * 13 September (CCWG meeting) - Staff to share first draft of Initial Report for CCWG Review and walk CCWG through draft * 27 September (CCWG meeting) - Review of Initial Report and input received * 27 September – 8 October - Continue review of Initial Report on mailing and/or additional meetings * At the latest by 8 October 2018 - Publication of Initial Report for public comment * ICANN63- Present Initial Report to Community and solicit input * Consider soft extension for survey deadline factoring in holidays to 2 September. * Concerning ICANN63, a request for a HIT was submitted but did not receive enough support to end up in the top ranking (note only 3 slots are available for HIT/CC sessions at ICANN63). A session has been requested as part of the GNSO schedule for Monday from 13.30 - 15.00 that could be used to present and discuss the Initial Report. Action item #6: CCWG members to flag to their respective groups now that this slot is the likely time for a presentation of the Initial Report so that groups can factor this into their scheduling (Monday from 13.30 - 15.00) 7. Confirmation of next steps & next meeting - Thursday 30 August at 15.00 UTC.

Notes and Action Items - New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting - Thursday 26 July
by Emily Barabas July 26, 2018

July 26, 2018

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting. Please note two action items from today’s call for CCWG follow-up: Action item #1: CCWG to review section A “Questions for the CCWG to answer” of the document available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9G…. CCWG will provide any input on possible responses by Friday, 3 Aug 2018 COB. Leadership team and staff will draft a summary of where we stand, once input has been received. Action item #2: CCWG to review draft questions for ICANN org input, Board input, and external consultant Sarah Berg input by Monday, 30 July at 14:00 UTC. The draft questions are available in sections B, C, and D of the document here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9G…. CCWG will provide feedback about whether these are the right questions to ask the respective parties. It is not necessary for the group to attempt to answer these questions at this time. The group may decide to send additional questions to additional expert resources in the future, as appropriate and needed. Kind regards, Emily ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES 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 * Attendance will be taken from AC * Please mute your microphones when not speaking and state your name for transcription purposes 1. Welcome – SOI & DOI Updates * Please remember to review and update your SOI/DOIs as appropriate 1. Discussion of next steps on outstanding questions (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9G…) * last call we discussed a possible approach to deal with the outstanding questions * A subgroup was created. Brief overview provided by Emily Barabas from staff on the work done and what the next steps are. * Additional expertise and input needed on some of the questions, e.g. gaps on input received from experts, questions that arose from Sarah Berg's input. Subgroup verified on whom is best placed to answer these questions. Different questions have been breaked down based on who can provide input. * Suggested is a step-by-step approach. Proposal to look at 3 initial chunks of questions: * 1. Questions for the CCWG; * 2. Questions for ICANN Org (Legal/Finance/ICANN Board); * 3. Questions where External expertise is required. Those will be first presented to Sarah Berg, and once her feedback has been submitted they might go to outside legal counsel or other external experts. * Regarding the topic of regulations & laws impacting sanctions. Sam Eisner (ICANN Org) has a conflict for this call, but is happy to speak to this in the next call Questions for the CCWG to answer will be addressed during today's call., or latest by mid next week. First 4 questions. 1/ What are we aiming at? Single mechanism to recommend in the initial report? Or a ranking of the different mechanisms? A list of pros and cons? * The CCWG seems to prefer the ranking option, but concerns are raised regarding the 4th mechanism, which some prefer to move to the side. * Concern that the CCWG does not provide a clear path forward, but leaves too many different options open when publishing the Draft Initial Report. * Should the 4th mechanism be removed in the list of mechanisms? If so, it would make our work a bit lighter. We could also keep it in the ranking, but in the last position. This decision will help us target the next steps. 2/ is additional work needed on the CCWG in defining goals and objectives the fund should support? * Quite some work has been done already: the preamble, the list of examples, the Preliminary Agreement B on high-level objectives to the Group (https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Charter+Question+Templates Action item #1: CCWG to review section A “Questions for the CCWG to answer” of the document available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9G…. CCWG will provide any input on possible responses by Friday, 3 Aug 2018 COB. Leadership team and staff will draft a summary of where we stand, once input has been received. 3/ What does success look like for this group? are there metrics that should be tracked and reported upon on a regular basis? * our mission statement defines the funding environment. Metrics can be as simple/complicated as the application process itself. When the project is implemented, size of the grant, duration of the implementation period are important. 4/ Define principles to determine an appropriate level of overhead. * Charter Q.8 speaks to this. Some discussions are too implementation oriented than what is needed initially. * e.g. should be cost effective, should be concluded within estimated time period. * if not justifiable, we can drop this point, however the mechanism also plays a role here. Accountability, cross-financing between different units might become an issue Sanctions * Sam Eisner has shared the following presentation, which was originally given to the WS2 Jurisdiction group: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=69272128&preview=/… * The issue will come up, if the group suggests mechanism 1 in the draft initial report. It will be raised by the community. Suggestion to have an external opinion on how other 5013C org registerd in the US deal with this issue. The CCWG should prepare the ground for this mechanism to be accepted, but not necessarily come up with a solution. Action item #2: CCWG to review draft questions for ICANN org input, Board input, and external consultant Sarah Berg input by Monday, 30 July at 14:00 UTC. The draft questions are available in sections B, C, and D of the document here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9G…. CCWG will provide feedback about whether these are the right questions to ask to the respective parties. It is not necessary for the group to attempt to answer these questions at this time. The group may decide to send additional questions to additional expert resources in the future, as appropriate and needed. 4. Review of Work Plan and Next Steps * Discuss the sanctions-issue in the next call, when Sam Eisner is present * Adjustments to the Work Plan are needed. The additional expertise will move the timeline slightly. Proposed timeline and Work Plan are being displayed in the AC room * End goal: to present an initial report 3 weeks ahead of Barcelona. Action item #3 Leadership team to discuss the workplan with staff during a prep call 5. AOB * Next meeting : Thu, 9 August 2018 (14:00 UTC)

Notes and action items from new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting
by Marika Konings July 26, 2018

July 26, 2018

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG. Please take particular note of the action items: Action item #2: CCWG to review summary document and identify any remaining questions as soon as possible so that these can be considered by the small group of volunteers undertaking the triage of questions. Action item #3: CCWG to review remaining steps and proposed timeline and identify any concerns / issues. Best regards, Marika Notes & Action items – new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting of 12 July 2018 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 [community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_di…>. 1. Roll Call * Attendance will be taken from AC * Please mute your microphones when not speaking and state your name for transcription purposes 2. Welcome / SOI-DOI Updates * Participation in recent meetings has been low, including limited participation today - is there a need to review working methods? * Please remember to review and update your SOI/DOIs as appropriate 3. Recap from CCWG62 related meetings and updates * See notes and action items from that meeting * A number of items discussed at ICANN62 are also coming back on the agenda today * Leadership also provided an update to the ccNSO and the GAC on the status of deliberations - shared current timeline, questions under consideration, etc. 4. Review of proposed responses to charter questions (updated version to be shared by staff shortly) * See the document that was shared on the CCWG mailing list * Objective is to get this document into a state that it is ready for inclusion in the Initial Report. * Number of questions that have been identified - some may be responded to by Sam/Xavier, Sarah Berg but also the CCWG. * What approach should be taken to get to answers for these questions? * What is the role of the Board in internal mechanism? Board has indicated that they do not expect involvement in daily operations or approving individual projects. May need to be clarified by Board Liaisons re. how much they want to get involved in overseeing individual projects. Depending on which mechanism is recommended, Board may need / want to adjust its thinking. Board does not want any involvement in relation to decisions on individual grants, but oversight of administrative process is expected, for example through annual review / evaluation. * May need to pull out all legal / tax related questions and ask legal to provide guidance on these (possibly through outside counsel). Would first need to see the questions to determine who would be the best person/resource to respond to these. * Some questions earmarked for Sarah may also be more appropriate for other experts / sources. * Need to play it safe and be sure about decisions/recommendations. * How to extract those legal questions that may need input from outside counsel? Need certainty on those essential items before publishing Initial Report. * Small group of volunteers to review questions and undertake a triage effort (which questions are for CCWG to consider, which are for Sam/Xavier, which for Sarah Berg, which ones are possibly for an external source /counsel). Volunteers: Marilyn, Vanda, Samantha, Maureen, Erika. Objective for the small group is to undertake triage effort early next week following which it would share its recommendations with the CCWG ahead of next meeting. Action item #1: staff to set up doodle poll for small group for a call early next week to undertake triage effort. If there are other volunteers, please share your interest with the mailing list. 5. Final review of summary descriptions provided by Sarah Berg - ICANN Contracted Advisor on Strategic Development and Philanthropic Programs (see attached) * Number of questions were identifed for Sarah - will be considered as part of the triage effort as identified under previous item so that a defined set of questions can be shared with Sarah as there may be other items for which her input will be helpful. * Note question in relation to need for human rights assessment into the process. CCWG-Accountability WS2 provided recommendations in this regard - need to consider how that would be implemented into the auction proceeds process. Action item #2: CCWG to review summary document and identify any remaining questions as soon as possible so that these can be considered by the small group of volunteers undertaking the triage of questions. 6. Feedback on remaining steps and proposed timeline (see attached) * See remaining steps & proposed timeline shared. * Please share any concerns you may have about the timeline with the list. Meeting the target of publication of an Initial Report by ICANN63 will require commitment and participation from all. * Should additional meetings be scheduled to make sure all issues can be considered in detail? May be a challenge considering the August timeframe and vacation time in the northern hemisphere. * More time may be needed for consultations in relation to the poll. * Need to maintain flexibility and review on a regular basis how to adjust the timeline / schedule of meetings as this is dependent on the progress that is made. Action item #3: CCWG to review remaining steps and proposed timeline and identify any concerns / issues. 7. Confirmation of next steps and next meeting (26 July 2018 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-…>.

Staff has been working with a small group of volunteers from the CCWG to identify outstanding questions that have been identified and determine how these questions may be answered – through additional discussion in the CCWG, through input from ICANN org, through additional external input, etc. Following this first step taken with the small group, staff has made an initial attempt at converting this set of questions into a narrative document, tailoring a list of questions to each recipient’s scope and area of expertise: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9G…. On Thursday, we will discuss questions that the CCWG may already be in a position to answer and those that might require input from ICANN org or an external expert. You are encouraged to review the document and add any comments prior to the call. A Word version is also attached for those who do not use Google Docs. Staff will later share additional questions that the CCWG may consider once additional feedback has been received from ICANN org and external experts. This list is still in development.
