Dear all,

As one of the newest member of the group, let me ask a question - and
apologies, if it’s already been discussed..

The question being, has there been any discussion of existing - internet
funding initiatives (a quick list below) - their focus area, their
processes, opportunities for coordination and collaboration , and best
practices that this ccwg might want to incorporate into our work and
recommendations?

The US State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour
(DRL) annual funding call is , in my opinion, a good example for us to
review and comment as it has many of the sections, description of
process, review criteria and - Eligibility requirements that, to a
certain extent, would also have to be followed by ICANN or spun-off US
based entity that might be created.

I welcome others thoughts on this.

regards,


Robert
