"an organization that has as goal to fund projects aimed to bridge the digital divide" this is not ICANN’s mission. we are dealing with an exception, not the organization’s goal. EN

Hi all,
I have to agree with Daniel here.
Years ago we donated a lump sum of money (4 mio EUR) to an organization that has as goal to fund projects aimed to bridge the digital divide. The project plan envisaged a number of calls for projects (to receive funding) over a period of 3 years.
In reality the program has run for more than 4,5 years because of:
- Efficient cost management; - Lower costs/funding per project than anticipated; - Lesser inflow of projects than anticipated.
Even if the auction proceeds would be a one off, chances are that the distribution of funds will be more iterative and may take many years as explained by Daniel.
Best regs,
Peter

I think the one-time factor in terms of funding source (which in itself could turn out to be two-time or more, but not our business) doesn't equate to a one-time approach for disbursing these funds.
E.g. if the agency we're designing goes for bi-annual periodic calls to give away a slice of the overall source funding available at each call, it could easily last for several years, and several years is kind of our own (the Internet/Web technical community) survival horizon, so hardly something we can call a one-time granting project IMO.
At https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions/proceeds it says that there is 233M in the bank as revenue source. If every six months, each call can grant 23M to various projects (we will have to discuss what is a typical project grant, for what duration), then we already have 5 years of activity for this agency.

Dear Waudo,
Please note that the charter states that:
“These proceeds are to be considered as an exceptional, one-time source of revenue”.
However, you may also be interested in the opinion that Alan (co-chair of the drafting team that developed the charter) shared in an earlier thread:
_“- There *may* be another round or rounds;_
_- There *may* be auctions_
_- Any such auctions *may* have their proceeds designated for uses similar to in the first round._
_ _
_All of these would be the result of GNSO PDP(s) and Board action, and are out of scope for us, regardless of whether we think any or all of this would be good (and I am not advocating any of this here). If all of those were to come to be, then the process we are developing *may* be applicable (again, a decision WAY out of our scope). Nothing that we do should REQUIRE that we must start all over again and re-invent this in such a situation.”_

Dear all,
I missed the call but I am impressed by the progress that was made. Reading the action points/discussion notes I think our focus now should be on expanding and finalizing Item 5 - Workplan. I suggest we set a deadline for having the workplan in place and also focus on this item on the next call.
I have a question on scope meantime. Probably those in the group who may have participated in the formulation of the charter could be of help: Is this exercise confined to the proceeds of the first round auctions or do we need to come up with a mechanism encompassing any future rollout scenarios (currently not known). The Charter just refers to "new gTLDAuction Proceeds".
Kind Regards,
