+1 Alan .. Kind Regards --Manal From: ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org [mailto:ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Alan Greenberg Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2017 6:37 AM To: Marika Konings <marika.konings@icann.org>; ccwg-auctionproceeds@icann.org Subject: Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Proposed agenda - CCWG Auction Proceeds on Thursday 24 August at 14.00 UTC I have missed several meetings, so perhaps I am misunderstanding, but I have some real difficulties with the Objectives as presented. What we have is: The overall objective of the allocation of new gTLD Auction Proceeds is to benefit the development, distribution and evolution of the Internet's unique identifier systems. Within this overall objective, priority should be given to support activities that: * Benefit capacity building and underserved populations * Benefit structures or projects that directly support the Internet's unique identifier systems * Benefit the Open Internet I think the bullet points are fine, but I have a hard time justifying why the first and third ones even fit under "benefit the development, distribution and evolution of the Internet's unique identifier systems". I would far prefer if the bullets were examples of objectives and we use words from the mission to constrain them. I do understand that if we are not careful we could endanger our tax status, and ensuring that this does not happen is important. But I think we also have a moral obligation ensure that subject to not harming ICANN, we use the funds to have the greatest possible impact. By having the mission of ICANN as a constrain and not the objective, we have a chance of doing that. I am glad to see that in this version, we have replaced reference to the DNS with the wider reference to unique identifiers which includes the addressing community. And since we are wholly dependent on the protocol community for much of what we do, and they are one on of the IANA customers, they should be included as well. It is the entire ecosystem within which ICANN functions that we should be striving to target, and not some narrow subset that ICANN does in its "day job".
